You can add any files from your Google Drive & Dropbox to CiteReady through a few clicks. These files will be listed as attachments to your CiteReady item, and can be linked anytime from CiteReady. You can add as many files as you like, regardless of file type or size.

Why and when to use it :

  • When you want to attach a file which is already in cloud storage to an CiteReady item
  • When the file size is too big to upload, or file type is not supported by CiteReady, such as .zip, .wmv, .png, etc.
  • Put every resource related to your CiteReady item together for easy access, from anywhere in the world

Here’s how you do it :

  • Select any item from your folder
  • Mouse over to “upload” on item detail panel, and select

“Insert item from Google Drive” if you want to add a file from Google Drive, or
“Insert item from Dropbox” if you want to add a file from Dropbox

 

You will be prompted to log in to your Google Drive or Dropbox account. After login, select any files from any folders. Folders or files shared to you by others can be selected as well.
