If you are currently on this option, your entire team is using a shared Google Drive to access all documents. This option is great for smaller teams looking to keep things simple. Once you're ready to move on to something more robust, you can move to Google Drive Option #2. This option allows all counselors to access the integration through their own Google Accounts as opposed to everyone using a shared account. This helps track changes and updates per Google Drive account. Letting you know who is making changes and who has access to each document as opposed to sharing one account. This definitely keeps things simple early on but it can get cumbersome as your practice grows.    **Login to your CounselMore Account Access the Google Drive Configuration Settings \> Click Edit**  ![](https://helpdesk.counselmore.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Aug-30-2024-02-33-54-7994-AM.png?width=688&height=301&name=image-png-Aug-30-2024-02-33-54-7994-AM.png) **Select Different Google Drive Accounts \> Apply Changes** ![](https://helpdesk.counselmore.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Aug-30-2024-02-35-36-5857-AM.png?width=688&height=305&name=image-png-Aug-30-2024-02-35-36-5857-AM.png) **Allow the system to finish loading and confirm the change before closing out.
