We’re using Lucidchart/Google Workspace integration where any new Lucidchart document I create gets a shortcut in my My Drive/Lucidchart folder.

What I cannot do is create a shortcut to a Lucidchart document that I did not create.  I can, of course, use Windows Explorer and create a “.url” file but Google Drive isn’t smart enough to know how to open that.  I need a shortcut within Google Drive that Google Drive can open.

Hi ​@Mike Shelton, thanks for posting in the Lucid Community!

To clarify- are you hoping to access all Lucid files within Google Drive, both your own files and files that have been shared with you?

Not necessarily.  I, obviously, want to access any of my own files from Google Drive.  As for files I don’t create, I need to access--from Google Drive--files for projects I may be taking over from someone else or just some files that have been shared with me for reference.
