Drive Branch Set-Up

SERRAM chose Google Drive for transferring branch data over the internet. The reason for this is that there are no additional costs involved to the customer and it is easy to set up. You can also use another cloud based file hosting system as long as it has the same features as Google Drive.

If you haven't already, first Setup Google Drive for the head office.

Google Drive Branch Set-Up

At the branch, from the computer from where you use SERRAM Manager (the computer will need an internet connection), log into the gmail account that will be used for that specific branch. You will see a notification from Google Drive that the head office shared a folder with you that you will need to accept.
Click on the Apps icon (top right) and select Drive. If the Google Drive app is not installed on the computer, there will be a message on your google drive page that will allow you to install it. Install the app.

After the google drive app installed, click on the Google Drive icon in your system tray.



Then click on the Google Drive Menu (see below).



After the google drive app installed, click on the Google Drive icon in your system tray and then on the menu.
Click on Preferences and select the Advanced tab. Uncheck the box that says 'Show confirmation when removing items from shared folders'.



Click on Apply.

Open the Google Drive Preferences again as explained above, but this time, on the first tab, click on 'Visit Shared With Me'.



In 'Shared with me', drag and drop the Branch folder that was shared with you into 'My Drive'.

That is it!
