Import from Google Drive

Google Drive is a greatly to import files that you share and work on collaboratively online. Choose the Google Drive option in the Add Songs screen to browse your Google Drive files.

Authorization

You will need to authorize OnSong to access Google Drive the first time you attempt to access it. This will either open a web-based authentication screen from inside of OnSong. Once your account is linked, you can use Google Drive without signing in again unless your account become unlinked for some reason.

You can always sign out of Google Drive at anytime by tapping on the Sign Out button at the bottom of the screen.

Browsing

Once you are signed in, you can navigate your entire Google Drive contents. Tap on folders to navigate to more files.

Selecting

Tap on files to check and uncheck them for import. You can also use the Select All and Deselect All buttons on the bottom of the screen to select or deselect everything in the currently viewed folder. If you select a backup file, OnSong will prompt you that importing a backup will overwrite your current library before continuing. If confirmed, only the backup file is imported and the library is restored.

Importing

Once you have some files checked, tap on the Import button in the upper right corner to begin the import process. If you have selected to import a file that was already imported, OnSong will have you choose an action to take on the duplicate file. When importing begins, the progress is displayed as a percentage in the upper right corner. Once the import process is completed, you are returned to the All Songs screen.

Sorting

You can change the sort order of the files and folders to make selecting them for import easier. Tap on the sort icon in the lower left corner to bring up the following options:

  • Name sorts files and folders by file name in ascending alphabetic order.
  • Size sorts larger files to the top of the list.
  • Modified sorts files that were most recently modified to the top of the list

Note: Tapping on the same sort option twice will reverse the sort order.

Signing Out

If you've signed into the wrong Google Drive account, or if you want to sign out of Google Drive for security reasons, tap on the door icon in the lower right corner. This will deauthorize OnSong from Google Drive and return you to the Add Songs screen.
