Upload a document

You can upload documents from Google Drive™ or Microsoft® OneDrive, and add them to your collection.

From the Collections homepage, on the PRIVATE tab, select the collection you want to add a document to, and then click .

Notes: You have to set up your own Google Drive or Microsoft OneDrive account to upload items to your collection. The first time you upload an item, you will get an authentication message from Google or Microsoft. Collections does not set the sharing options for Google or OneDrive documents. You must set your document's sharing permissions in the appropriate platform before you upload it.

To upload a Google Drive document:

1. Select Upload > Sign in with Google.
2. Follow the prompts to sign in. Your Google Drive picker appears.
3. Choose the file you want to upload, and then click Select.

   

   Note: If you want to select a file from one of your folders, click the Google Drive tab. You cannot create Google Drive folders in Collections – they have to already exist.

   

   The Title and Type automatically appear in the fields.

   Note: These fields are editable.

   

4. Enter a Description and Tags for the item, if desired.

   Notes: Adding tags to an item lets you filter your search results for a specific resource. For example, add the tag planet to find this document when you search for items related to planet. Clicking a tag in an item automatically searches Destiny Discover for other resources on that topic. Selecting the For Instructor Use Only checkbox (requires the appropriate instructor permissions) hides the resource from student view.

5. Click Add File. The item appears in your collection.

To upload a OneDrive document:

1. Select Upload > OneDrive.
2. Follow the prompts to sign in. Your OneDrive picker appears.
3. Choose the file you want to upload, and then click Select.

   

4. Follow steps 3–4 in the "To upload a Google Drive document" section.
