Turbo charge your assignments by enabling Google Drive for students

Derek Nichols

We have some exciting news to share with you about the Google Drive integration for Academics. Plus, come learn a little bit about how it works!Some of you may have seen this blog a little early last week, but this time, we have some good news to share. The Learning Management team has fixed an issue with the Google Drive integration that should be live now. So get in there and have a look!


For those who have yet to play around with it, this integration enables students to submit file attachments from Google Drive to class assignments in Academics. Teachers, faculty, and students can then use Google Drive's features to create a virtual feedback loop which helps maximize academic achievement.

Do we need to update any of our settings? Ours is still not reflecting the change.

Peter Iles‍ The fix went out this morning so it should automatically be applied, no need to download anything or whatnot. Possibly a caching issue? See if clearing your cache works in this instance, otherwise you might want to get in touch with the support team to see what's going on.

I am confused as to how this is new? We have been using this for the past year and love it. Thank you.

That's wonderful to hear Michelle Kramer‍! With the move to online learning for many schools, we've been discussing many topics which may help/assist teachers get their classrooms up and running. Google Drive has had an issue associated with it ,which was just recently fixed by the LMS team, so we're bringing awareness to it once again.

This appears to be broken again.
