# Troubleshoot - Mobile Google Drive, Files Tab is not visible to student

## For Mobile Google Drive: You will Enter Google Drive directly from your Google Drive Mobile app, not via CounselMore because you'll have access to more.

The counselor connects their Google Drive to their CounselMore account.

When the counselor shares the students assigned Google drive folder with the student - the student can also locate that shared folder in their own personal Google Drive, in a section titled shared with me.

Instruct the student to navigate to their own Google Drive, on the left hand side menu, select shared with me

The student will find a folder with their name - that is the folder the counselor has shared with them.

That is how the student should access their Google shared folder from their mobile to device. The Google Drive mobile app is incredibly robust and allows your student to access greater flexibility then going through the CounselMore mobile version and then launching to the shared folder. That is an added and unnecessary step for your student.
