How to avoid sig in to google when using Google Drive plug in?

Danae Castellanos

I just add the Google Drive plug in to my confluence account and people on my team need to sign in to Google account in order to see the content of my entry on confluence. 

How can I change that?

How I can make it direct withouth sign in to Google account? 

Please let me know. 

Thanks

Hi Danae, welcome to the Community!

I'm going to assume you're using the Google Drive for Confluence (Official) app published by Atlassian. This app converts the "share" link from a google document into an embedded version in Confluence.

Depending on the share settings of the document you're embedding, users on Confluence might be prompted to sign in to Google to view the document. As an example, here's what a document will show in Confluence if the Google document requires permissions that I don't have or I'm not signed in:

Luckily this is pretty easy to fix on the Google side; we just need to update the document's sharing permissions.

By clicking the Share button in the document in Google Drive, I can adjust permissions for my organization pretty quickly:

The link in Confluence doesn't need to be changed once the permissions in Google Drive are updated. Anybody at Atlassian can view that document in Confluence now - but it still requires them to sign in to Google. Let's go one more step! By clicking on the More... option down at the bottom, I can adjust the document permissions further:

With the "On - Anyone with the link" option selected, now the document is shown directly in Confluence without requiring a sign-in to Google. Folks won't be able to make changes to the document directly (as I've selected "can view" rather than "can edit" in the sharing options), but you can modify that to your liking.

Cheers,
Daniel
