Improve google drive picker

When I pull up drive to attach files, the organization of my files is different then it is on google drive. I see folders that should be inside other folders. It would be easier to find the files I want if the folders came up like they do in google drive. Instead I see every folder on the first screen even if it is actually inside another folder.

    Hello, I am having a similar problem. When I open my google drive to attach a document, the folders show, but no documents show up within the folders. I am wondering why this problem is.
    I like the idea of being able to attach things from my drive, but it's hard to do if the files do not show up.

    Yes, please fix this! It is not intuitive. This is the MOST frustrating part of your software. At school, we are moving to all Google, but I feel like I am wasting so much time with your program trying to attach Google documents.

    Yes, Yes Yes, Please! I am only able to pull up files from my Team Drive and not from MY drive! This is not convenient! Please fix!

    Yes, Yes, YES!. This is so frustrating for me as well. I teach several different high school science classes, and all have a "ch. 1 - intro" folder, so I don't know which one I want, since it doesn't show the hierarchical structure to the folders, just a list. Since educators get unlimited google storage, this takes a huge amount of time, and this was one of the features that got me to use planbook.com in the first place.

    I can't even get it to show my Google Drive. I just see the Search box and then it can rarely find the file I want. I have to download the file to my computer and attach it the other way. As far as I can see my account is connected to my Google info, so I don't understand why this is an issue. It's frustrating.

    By not being able to easily pick files using the Google Drive file picker, you lose a lot of this efficiency. The advantage of having a Google Drive integration is that you can update/tweak relevant lesson files and have them ready for immediate reuse in that lesson the following year and save time. If the files take forever to locate, however, that time is lost.

    With Nearly 30 gig of documents on google drive and several complete courses worth of information, I cannot use the feature because the organization if so different and I have thousands of files to weed through. If it showed in the folder system I see while on google it is easy to find whet I am looking for.
