Documents created and stored in Google Drive, if a download or export link is available, may be imported into OnBase.

Note:

Your workstation must be configured to use Google Services. Contact your system administrator for additional information.

Note:

Google Forms cannot be viewed within OnBase.

Some documents created in Google Drive cannot be imported into OnBase in their native file formats. The files are converted into their Microsoft file equivalents before import. The table below outlines the file conversion for each Google document type:
