My company uses Google Docs for documentation. I’d love to be able to put artifacts into FigJam boards but whenever I paste in a link, I don’t get a proper preview, just a clickable URL. I’m assuming this is because FigJam can’t authenticate with Google Drive. Is this coming? It’s a big barrier to using FigJam at a broader level here.
Embedded file previews of Google Docs in Figjam
Hey Scott! Thank you for your feedback. We’'ll pass your feedback along to the team for consideration.
In the meantime, I’ve switched your topic as a feature request so others in the community can vote your idea!
@Scott_Koellner what kind of preview would you expect to appear from a documentation file?
Thinking out loud here. If it’s a thumbnail of the first page, assuming there is access to GDrive, the content would be unreadable. If it’s a generic Google logo then all embeds will look the same and make it extremely difficult to distinguish one embed from another.
You can embed a Google doc on any web page using an iframe embed via the publish to web option under file > share > publish to web. I’d like something like that: just a resizable box with the document in it that lets me scroll through it. It’d be nice to just paste in a google doc or google sheets link.
