How to search and reference Google Drive files

You can search and reference documents from Google Drive, and your team can easily recognize what type of file each one is as you can see below.


Go to a new or existing Tettra page. Type # and start typing the name of the file you want to reference. When you see the document, select it.


You can embed files that you have created, as well as, files others have shared with you or made public.

The document is now referenced inline on your Tettra page. The icon also tells you what type of file you're referencing (doc, spreadsheet, presentation, etc.).

If you have the GitHub integration enabled, you’ll see a combo of Google Drive and GitHub results come up. You can differentiate between Google Drive and GitHub items by the icon that appears next to the options.


When someone clicks on the file on your Tettra page, it will open in a new tab. To view it, the reader must have access to the file in Google Drive (i.e., be the account owner or be shared on the doc).


If they don’t have access, they’ll have to request via the Google Drive page.
