Removed
Google Drive Linked Account in My Media
o From June 30th the option to link your Google Drive in My Media in ENGAGE has been removed
o To continue to use Google Drive files in ENGAGE, users will only be able to view links to presentations, documents and other files if the share permission in Google Drive is set to “Anyone on the web can view/edit”
o This removal of the link account functionality in ENGAGE is due to Google deprecating support for sign in with embedded web browsers, which ENGAGE relies on to provide service for Google Drive and website streaming
o In addition, this will also restrict the use of using Google to sign-in and link account to other cloud file systems in the My Media service such as Dropbox
o It is still possible to link your Office365 and Dropbox accounts in the My Media section of ENGAGE
o Regular website streaming is still possible
o We recommend using Microsoft OneDrive or Office365 to share presentations and documents where possible
