Google Calendar + Google Drive

Start new Google Calendar events and add file sharing preferences in Google Drive

Start your events on the right note with this handy workflow. When an event begins in your Google Calendar, it seamlessly prompts Google Drive to adjust file sharing preferences. Simplify your routine and make sure all relevant materials are accessible for your important engagements. This is the perfect solution for maintaining organized and efficient digital collaborations.
