Manage Multiple Accounts
This feature can also make shared iPads a bit easier. Add this feature with the tip below and help keep students from accidentally logging into the wrong account.
Passcode Protect Google Drive Accounts
Here's how to set a Passcode Lock for each Google Account:
Go to Settings (top left corner)
You will then be prompted to set the passcode (and re-enter to confirm). After confirmed, you can choose to have the passcode "Always Lock," and it will require that you enter the passcode each time you return to Google Drive.
Upload Files to Google Drive from Camera Roll, iCloud, Dropbox and More!
- Upload files or videos from the Camera Roll: Access photos, videos and screenshots that you have saved to your Google Drive. This method is a great way to move files created with other apps into Drive (i.e. iMovie).
- Use Camera: Use the camera directly from the Google Drive app to directly upload photos and videos to Google Drive. This function will still save to your camera roll as well, but with photos and videos safely stored in Drive, you can delete from your iOS device to save precious storage! (Note: Always verify that the photos and videos are saved in Drive before deleting from the camera roll.)
- Upload files: From here you will see various options depending on the other apps you have installed. Upload files from iCloud, another Google Drive account, Dropbox and more! (To enable, click on + > Upload Files > More.)
