Synchronize Shared drive users and trello team?

Question

For a project we're using Google Shared drives as our doc repository and cooperation workspace. I was wondering if it's possible to automatically add shared drive users to a trello team, which would mean that by giving users access to the drive they would also get access to the trello project board. Any ideas on how to do this?

Hi @Dieter Mortelmans ,

You can just share the google drive folder with Trello or share the files/documents links in Trello and then all team members can access the files!

Make sure to share the google drive folder with everyone on the team!

You have to add the members to either google drive or Trello board to give access to the files!

You can also ask Trello support

Hi and thanks. These link are about sharing files and folders. We've added already the gdrive power-up. My question is however about linking gdrive users and Trello teams. We want to avoid having to add members to your google drive, and then again to your Trello team to give them access to the board as well.

NB: Making the board public is no option for us.
