Google Drive Collaboration

Some customers may want to interact with Dropzone via Google Drive, but do not use Google Workspace with their organization. While it is possible for Dropzone personnel to share documents read-only with arbitrary email addresses, for someone to be able to upload and collaborate they need to have an actual Google account.

Google allows you to make a Google account with your existing corporate email address.

Following these steps does not mean that you have access to other Google tools such as Gmail or Calendar - your normal corporate systems will continue to be authoritative for email and other services.

Creating Your Google Account

• Go to https://accounts.google.com/signup

• Fill out your name and other details

• When it offers to create an @gmail addresses, say "use your existing email"

Don't create @gmail, say "Use your existing email"

• Provide your corporate email address

• Set your password, etc

When interacting with Dropzone in Google Drive you should now have full collaboration permissions.
