"Need to Know" Items for Google Drive Uploader

Files will be uploaded to the root directory of your Google Drive, to a folder called "PlusThis Uploads." This folder will contain a folder for each contact record that uploads a file, named <Last Name>, <First Name> <Contact Id>. For example:

  • PlusThis Uploads
    • Smith, John 5479
      • File 1
      • File 2
      • ...
You may safely rename the files but do not change the folder names.

The maximum file size for uploading a file is 50mb per file.
