We can hardly contain our excitement as we present to you the ability to share, search, and sync your entire Google Drive repository, right within Flock. *Want to master the Flock app? Check out our [step-by-step guide to getting started with Flock ](https://blog.flock.com/usingflock/getting-started-with-flock-509b13b5096)for more tips and tricks.* ![Drive integrated in Flock](https://blog.flock.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/1_1kDyNjOsC6PZR7J-UwRGAQ.png?width=2000&height=1218&name=1_1kDyNjOsC6PZR7J-UwRGAQ.png) For everyone who swears by Google Drive but hate all the tab switching, here’s what’s new you can do with Flock’s deep integration with Google Drive. ### Flock's Google Drive integration lets you: - Create docs, spreadsheets, or presentations from within the app. - Access all your files and easily search for them so that they're just a click away. - Manage editing permission within Flock on a case by case basis or with blanket access. - Add multiple Google accounts so *literally* all your files are accessible. ![literally all your files are in Flock](https://blog.flock.com/hs-fs/hubfs/literally.gif?width=350&name=literally.gif) ## Create new docs, spreadsheets, and presentations *from within the app* Navigate to the toolbar on the right side of the Flock app. Under "My Drive", click the plus sign to create a new document, sheet, presentation, or folder.  ![Create new files](https://blog.flock.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screen%20Shot%202019-10-28%20at%203.32.01%20PM%201.png?width=250&name=Screen%20Shot%202019-10-28%20at%203.32.01%20PM%201.png) Select the file type you want to create and you're ready to roll! ![create a new file](https://blog.flock.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/1XtaNcyu5MGjXfpZX3KBKBQ.png) ## Preview the document and grant file viewing and editing permissions from within Flock Simply drop a link to the Google file you want to share and you can grant access within Flock. ![grant edit access](https://blog.flock.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/19xQ99jHAb6CUsMg-kr88MA.png) You can also apply blanket edit or view access to any files you share so you don't have to deal with *'can you give me access?'* requests. You can find that setting by heading to the "My Drive" toolbar on the right side of the Flock app,  and then click the gear to adjust your settings. ![Give blanket access](https://blog.flock.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/1TssMY9BgYxJcG9_vfRli0g.png) ## Search and browse your entire Google Drive. *And *search for files shared in your direct messages and channels. You can access and search Google Drive using the toolbar. ![Google Drive search bar](https://blog.flock.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/1N6_OXkqrILsYV0lULwku-w.png) ## Link multiple Google accounts Add new accounts by clicking on the gear symbol in the toolbar. ![Linking multiple Drive accounts](https://blog.flock.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/1TssMY9BgYxJcG9_vfRli0g.png) So that’s basically your entire drive universe embedded in Flock. We’ve rolled out Google Drive integration for everyone, so it’s pre-installed when you sign in on Flock. You can access your drive from the Apps panel on the right *or* the Google Drive button in the attachment picker. If you love the new deep integration, give us a Green heart! ❤   *This post was updated in June 2019 with new information.* [Using Flock](https://blog.flock.com/usingflock/tag/using-flock) [![Ready to try Flock?
