Upgrading to Google Drive & Confluence version 2.0.0

The Connector for Google Drive & Confluence version 2.0.0 brings vast improvements in terms of functionality for administrators and end users.

To ensure a smooth upgrade from the prior version to version 2.0.0 and onwards, take note of the following items.

Google Drive API Key is Required

Besides the existing authorization details, a Google Drive API key is now required. This must be configured to enable all features. Refer to the updated Enabling the Google Drive API step.

Google Picker API Must be Enabled

The new file selection dialog in the Drive macro uses Google Picker API. Refer to the updated Enabling the Google Picker API step for instructions.

My Google Drive Has Been Removed

Due to the improved file selection dialog, personal My Google Drive settings are no longer relevant and have been removed.

The Drive File Macro is Deprecated and Replaced with the Drive Macro

The Drive File macro has been replaced by the new Drive macro.

Some visual improvements have been added to differentiate these macros:

  • Drive File macro, renamed to Drive File (Legacy):

  • The new Drive macro:

The Drive File macro will continue to work. However, the underlying logic of the macro is actually using the new Drive macro. All users will need to authenticate to Google Drive to start viewing the Drive files.

We encourage you to start using the new Drive macro and migrate your existing content to the new Drive macro. Contact our support team for assistance.

Drive file macro is not available in versions 3.0.0 and higher.
