Creating a file or folder (Google Drive)

Your Google account must be connected to Jira and the Google Drive integration must be enabled.

You can create a file or folder inside your Google Drive from a Jira work item.

To create a file or folder from a Jira work item:

1. In the Google Drive panel, click + Add File button

   

2. In the Link files / folders modal, click + New (upper‑right corner).

   

This option is only available when viewing a drive or folder. Filters such as Shared with me or Starred are not locations where files can be created.

3. Select the item you want to create: Folder, Google Docs, Google Sheets, or Google Slides.

   

You need write permissions on the current folder to create a new folder or file.

4. Enter a descriptive name, then click Create.

   

5. The new item is automatically selected. Click Link to attach it to the work item.
