You'll be prompted to login to that service provider with your credentials. For example, if you select Google Drive^™, you will have to login with your Google Account. Login using your credentials and follow any additional prompts to allow the two services to connect.

To save your file to the newly connected third party service, click Save As from the File tab.

In the Save As dialog, select your service (e.g. Google Drive^™) from the Save To drop down menu, and name your file. Click Save.

You can also connect to a 3rd party service directly from within the Save As dialog. Simply click Save As from the File tab then select Add New from the Save To drop down menu. You can also click on the logo of the service under Add Service in the same dialog. Follow the prompts from your third party service to log in and connect. Now click Save.

Once a 3rd party storage service is connected. You'll be able to save diagrams to it in the Save As dialog as discussed above. In the drop-down for Save To, you'll see all your connected storage options. Once a service is selected, you'll see a list of files and folders below. You'll have the option to save to an existing folder to create a new folder.

Any diagram saved to a 3rd party storage service will be marked with an icon for that storage provider to make it clear where your files live in case you've connected multiple options or saved to different locations.

In this screenshot, you can see a mix of files. Some saved to OneDrive^®, some to Google Drive^™ and some to SmartDraw's own online storage.

You'll also have access to any already existing folders on the connected service.

Shared folders will be marked in blue to make it clear that any files saved there will be shared using whatever permission that folder has been set up with.

To disconnect a 3rd party storage provider, return to the Home Screen, right-click on the 3rd Party Provider in the list and choose Disconnect Account.
