Individual Add-on Installation for Users

When a G Suite Marketplace app is not installed for a domain, and its users are allowed to install the G Suite Marketplace app, the users can install the app individually in their Google account.

To install the WorkDrive for Gmail Add-on:

1. Go to your Gmail account.
2. Click the plus icon (+) on the right sidebar.

G Suite Marketplace window will open. The apps that can be used directly with Gmail will be listed there.



3. Type "WorkDrive for Gmail" in the search bar and select it. A new screen for the WorkDrive for Gmail add-on will open.

Alternatively, you can directly go to the Zoho WorkDrive for Gmail add-on by clicking this link: 

4. Click Install.
5. Click Continue.
6. Select a Gmail account to continue.
7. Click Allow to grant the WorkDrive for Gmail add-on to access your Gmail account.

The add-on will be installed, and will appear on the right sidebar, above the plus icon (+).

8. Click the WorkDrive icon on the right sidebar.



9. Sign in to Zoho WorkDrive.
10. Allow the plugin to access your WorkDrive account.

The above steps are common to both G Suite users and free Google users.
Users can only install an app from the G Suite Marketplace if they are allowed by their Admin.

The following settings are available for admins in managing their users to install a G Suite Marketplace app:
  1. Allow users to install any application from G Suite Marketplace
  2. Do not allow users to install any application from G Suite Marketplace
  3. Allow users to install only whitelisted applications from G Suite Marketplace
