Google Team Drive modules

The Adobe Workfront Fusion Google Team Drive modules enable you to monitor, upload, update, copy, delete, or retrieve files and create folders in your Google Shared Drive.

In order to use Google Team Drive with Adobe Workfront Fusion, it is necessary to have a G Suite account. If you do not have one, you can create a G Suite account at the G Suite sign up site.

In an Adobe Workfront Fusion scenario, you can automate workflows that use Google Team Drive, as well as connect it to multiple third-party applications and services.

If you need instructions on creating a scenario, see Create a scenario in Adobe Workfront Fusion.
