Google SSO lets users authenticate through their Google account without maintaining a separate Files.com password. Files.com does not synchronize Google passwords.

Select Google as the provider from the SSO providers list and save the form.

The Google authentication method is now available when assigning an authentication method for a user in Files.com, and the Sign in with Google button appears on your site's login page. Single sign-on authentication works with browser-based sessions, the Desktop App, and the Mobile App.

Keep at least one site administrator with the password option as the authentication method, rather than assigning all to SSO, to prevent being locked out of Files.com if your IdP or SSO has issues.

Changing the User's Authentication Method to Google

Edit each user's settings, update the Authentication Method to Google, and save the changes to enable Google Authentication for the user.

Make sure that the Username and the Email address are both set to the email address of the Google account you will use for authentication. Complete the rest of the form according to your preferences to create the user.

You may now test by logging in with the Google account using the Log in with Google button.
