Note: During initial account setup, you will be prompted to select where your recordings are stored (Castify Storage or Google Drive). This cloud storage selection is permanent and cannot be changed after your account is created.
If you selected Google Drive as your cloud storage during account setup, your recordings will also be saved on your My Videos Dashboard, which is a reflection of the Screencastify folder in your Google Drive.
Here's how you can connect Screencastify with your Google Drive during account setup:
- After installing the extension, click on the pinned Screencastify extension in the top right corner of your Google Chrome window.
- Click on the blue Sign in button.
- You'll be redirected to the sign-in page, where you can select the blue New to Screencastify? Create an account button to create an account.
- Click Sign Up With Google.
- Choose the Google account you would like to connect with Screencastify, then click Continue. You'll be redirected to the onboarding page.
- Choose your Role and select Google Drive as your storage.
- Lastly, click Grant Access to finish setting up your account.
