Cloud storage

Connect your Google Drive or OneDrive to pull documents straight into Coassemble, with no downloading and re-uploading.

You can source documents to transform directly from Google Drive or OneDrive, so you don't have to download a file and upload it again. You connect your account once, then browse and pick files from within Coassemble.

Connect and select a file

1. From your dashboard, open the Transform a document tool.
2. When prompted to upload, choose Google Drive or OneDrive instead of uploading from your device.
3. In the pop-up, sign in to your Google or Microsoft account and authorise the connection. If you've connected before, you won't need to reauthorise, just select your drive.
4. Browse your drive, find the document, and select it.

Coassemble uploads the file and starts transforming it into a course, ready for you to review and edit.

If you have trouble connecting

Check that:

• Pop-ups are enabled in your browser, since the sign-in opens in a pop-up window.
• You're using the correct account credentials.
• Your file is a supported format: PDF, Word (.doc, .docx), PowerPoint (.ppt, .pptx), text (.txt), or rich text (.rtf).

Frequently asked questions

Do I have to download files to use them?

No. Connect Google Drive or OneDrive and pull documents straight into the transform flow without downloading them first.

Do I need to reconnect every time?

No. Once you've authorised your account, you won't need to reauthorise, you just select your drive each time.

Which file types can I pull from cloud storage?

PDF, Word, PowerPoint, text, and rich text files, the same formats supported for document transformation.
