How do I sync with Google Drive cloud storage?

NOTE: This video shows a slightly older user interface but the instructions are still accurate.

NOTE: Cloud Storage is an Industry Pro feature.

iPad / iPhone Setup

Touch the File Browser icon on the Top Toolbar:

Touch Add Connection:
****
On the Add Connection pop-up, touch Google Drive:

Touch Continue and follow the prompts to log in with your Google Drive username and password;

You'll now have the Google Drive icon in the Connections section in the the File Browser. We recommend moving or copying your local files to Google Drive, which has version-controlled saving. This is the easiest and best way to back up your files.

TIP: Move is limited to single files. To relocate multiple files or folders use Copy.

NOTE: Files stored On My iPad / iPhone only exist on that device and aren't automatically synced to Google Drive. You'll want to move or copy them to Google Drive.

Mac Setup

If it's not already installed on your Mac, download and install the Google Drive Backup and Sync app from Google.com/drive/download;

There's no additional Google Drive sign-on required. Your Google Drive folders will be visible after clicking Select File from the Scriptation home screen.

The Select File command opens a standard Finder window, which allows you to open your Scriptation files like any other kind of file.

TIP: If you need to access the Google Drive folder frequently, drag it to the sidebar of your Finder window to pin it there permanently.

DON'T FORGET: If your scripts are saved locally (Desktop, Downloads, etc.) you won't be able to access them on other devices. In order to make them accessible on other devices, they have to be moved into Google Drive.
