Create a Bridge to an External File

"Bridges" is our solution to integrating with other storage systems currently including Google Drive, Microsoft One & Dropbox. When you create a Bridge, you can view and edit it in real-time without ever leaving the Trusted Family platform.

Note: When creating a Bridge to an external system, make sure that it is also shared with or accessible by the correct people. For example, you might want to make sure that a file shared within the Trusted Family site has Share settings in the external system set for anyone with the link to view or invite the specific individuals only depending on security level of the file.
