Attachment - File to attach are on Google Drive

Using QB cloud version

 

We have scanned files we want to attach.   The files are located on Google Drive so all users can see the scanned files.

 

There is a shortcut on the desktop that redirects to Google drive.

 

When we are in QBs and click attach file and the Folders/Files window pops up, we see the Google drive shortcut but it won't let us into the Google drive  files from QBs.

 

Suggestions?

Thanks for coming by, @dholley328.

 

I have some information about integrating Google Drive with QuickBooks Online. At the moment, attaching files directly from Google Drive into QuickBooks isn't possible. You'll want to check for a third-party app that can link between the two programs. This way, you can open the attachment and add it to your QuickBooks transactions.

 

Feel free to check on the website for other applications or visit our site, here's the link: Find the right apps for your business.

 

You can also follow these steps below to go to the App center.

 

  1. In your QBO account, go to the Apps menu.
  2. Select the Find Apps tab.
  3. Tap the Browse category drop-down or type in the search field.

 

 

 

Additionally, you can download the attachment from Google Drive and save it to your Desktop. From there, add the attachment to your QuickBooks transaction.
