Assembly app connections allow you to connect to any major file storage platform to easily access and search for all important information directly within Assembly. Find information faster, all in one place. To supercharge your search, try out our new Dora AI feature.
Who can use this feature?
- You must have an account set up with any of the available file storage apps.
- Any individual user can connect their Assembly account to a file storage app.
What to expect
- You must be using the new Assembly experience to take advantage of app connections and the search functionality.
- Once you connect to an app, all of the files you have created or have been shared with you will appear in your Assembly database.
- Files you have shared with other people in your Assembly will also be visible to those people in their own Assembly (even if they have not connected their Assembly to the app).
• For example, I created a document for my team, and shared it with userlA@joinassembly.com and userB@joinassembly.com . Once I am connected to the file storage app, User A and User B will both be able to search for this file in their Assembly.
• For more details, check out our help article on the app syncing process & file visibility. - You can search the files based on the contents of the file, i.e., text in the document, as well as the title of the document.
