How does this feature work?
Google Docs are a great way to work on documents, spreadsheets and presentations with co-workers, partners and customers. Manymoon now allows you to add context to your Google Docs! That is, you can link each of your Google Docs to any Manymoon task or project. This has a couple of advantages:
Does this feature with my Google Apps account?
Yes!
What do I need to use this Feature?
Your Manymoon account needs to be linked to a Google account. For more information, click here. We recommend that the email address you use for Manymoon matches the email address you use with your Google Docs account.
Where can I attach a Google Doc?
You can attach a Google Doc in three places:
What rights are granted to the people the Google Doc is shared with?
The members of that task or project will be able to access the Google Doc as collaborators.
I am unable to access a Google Spreadsheet that was shared with me?
Sometimes Google limits the number of people who can share a Google Spreadsheet. If you encounter this issue, send a message (e.g., within the task comment) to the owner asking them to manually share their spreadsheet with you.
I tried to attach a Google Doc but was shown an incorrect list of documents?
Manymoon, by default, will use the last Google Account you specified when attaching a Google Doc.
How do I switch which Google Docs account is used?
When you click on, "Create Google Doc" or "Choose a Google doc" you may be prompted to select which Google account you would like to use. Alternatively, just click on "Change Google Account" and you can switch to another Google Docs account.
In the Home Documents tab, which documents are shown?
By default, Manymoon will only show the documents associated with current projects or open tasks. To view documents associated with past or archived projects, you must go to the respective Project Home Page. To view documents associated with closed tasks, you must go to your Tasks -> Completed filter view.
How do I change my Google Account linked to Manymoon?
If you need to change the account you use to access your Google Documents and Calendar, follow these steps:

Do I have to be the owner of a google document to load it? I am trying to load two google docs. I have "Edit" abilities and they still don't show up on my list.
Hey Leah,
Are you sure the Google docs show up in your native Google doc list? If so, and they don't show up in the Google doc list in Manymoon, then try refreshing the screen. If it still doesn't work, are you sure that the docs were shared with your specific Manymoon email? (i.e. wasa*****@*****.com)
Why do I receive the following message when I try and upload a document (in this case a .DOC file):
"Unable to upload to Google Docs, please try again later. Please make sure you are a Google Apps Premier customer to use this feature." -?
I am a (very) small business and neither want nor need a Google Apps Premier account. Is this really necessary? I thought MM was fully integrated with Google docs -?
David--Manymoon is trying to take the local document you're uploading and create a copy in Google docs. This is an advanced feature that's only available with paid Google Apps accounts. To fix this, go to your Manymoon profile Settings tab and uncheck "Store my uploaded files in Google Docs".
We have attached from Google Docs: documents and spreadsheets as well as local jpegs. It does not seem to organize these very well. Is there a way to organize all these items? It would be great if they functioned like tasks where you could just drag and drop into any order you want, such as all spreadsheets on top, then documents, then jpegs. It is quite confusing now, having to sort through a lot of different documents to find what you are looking for.
Sorry, it lists them in order added and there's no way to sort.
How to go to Manymoon profile Settings tab and uncheck "Store my uploaded files in Google Docs", please guide.
1. Log into Manymoon
2. Click on your name/photo in the upper right hand corner of the screen to go to your profile
3. Click on the settings tab.
We have a situation where a member attached a document to a task, and it is now showing in the Document Tab 2x (loaded by two different people). the first time the document was loaded, it was done simply to load the document into the documents tab. The second time it was attached to a task. How is it possible that a document can be duped? I have tried to recreate the problem and can't. I have asked the second member to remove the document, but he can't see the duplicate. (this is one reason why the Admin needs to be able to remove any and all documents). How do we keep this from happening in the future?
Hey Leah,
This is a known issue. Let me look into it and I'll get back to you with more details on how to prevent it.
Hey Leah,
Just wanted to apologize for the delay on this. We''ve been unusually backed up. I hope to look into this this weekend and get back to you.
