How to Connect to a Drive

To connect to a drive, the owner will first need to provide you with one of the following.

  1. SiteDrive Key — This is a single field that includes all the necessary login and authentication.
  2. Login Credentials — They could provide you the URL, drive name, and password.

If you are unable to connect to a drive, the owner may have revoked access or not made the drive public. Once you have the necessary access information, there are two ways to connect to a drive.

  1. App Home — Select the drive menu on the main screen of the app and select Add New Drive > Remote Drive.
  2. Drives Tab — You can go to the Drives Tab and select Add New Drive > Remote Drive.

Now that you know the basics of connecting to a drive, let's walk through the process.

Step 1. The easiest way to connect to another drive is with the SiteDrive Key. This will be supplied by the drive owner and can be found at the top of the drive settings.

Step 2. Click the Drives selector dropdown to navigate to the Add Drive button.

Step 3: Select Remote Drive in the Drive creator wizard.

Paste the key into the SiteDrive Key input. You can click Test Connection to make sure the servers can receive information from each other. After that, click Add Drive to add it to your Remote Drive list.

Step 4. After you have connected to the drive, you can see all available files. Clicking each item will allow you to import or download those files. Learn about syncing.
