Bind a Cloud Storage Account

Bind a cloud storage service to the account to save media, lessons and other content to the cloud

Your myViewBoard account can be connected to cloud storage accounts such as Google Drive, Dropbox, Box, Microsoft OneDrive and OneDrive for Business.

  3. Click Cloud Integration on the side panel.
