How to Set Home Folder

The admin setting a “Home Folder” will enable viewing of the same, centralized folder on the Home menu in the Collavate application for all domain users. If the “Home Folder” field is left blank within the admin settings, each user’s personal “My Files” folder from their Google Drive will appear on their Home menu in Collavate.

To set a Home Folder for your users, a Collavate administrator can create or select an existing folder within the admin’s Google Drive containing necessary documents and files to set as the Home Folder by copying and pasting the Google Drive folder address bar link onto the “Home Folder” field in the admin menu settings. The entered Google Drive folder link will embed contents and files on the Collavate’s Home screen for users.

2. Copy the full address bar link of the Google Drive Folder
3. In the Collavate menu, Select Admin > Domain Settings
