Signing in, browsers and language

Sitedrive has no passwords. You sign in with your Google or Microsoft account, or with a one-time code sent to your email. This article also covers which browsers work best and how to choose your language and date format.

Before you start

  • Someone must invite you to a site first. You receive an email titled “You’ve been invited to Sitedrive” with a Go to Sitedrive button.
  • Use the email address the invitation was sent to. You can sign in with any address, but you only see the sites you were invited to.

Sign in on the web

  1. Open Sitedrive in your browser. The Welcome! page opens.
  2. Choose how to sign in:
    • Sign in with Google – for Google or Google Workspace accounts.
    • Sign in with Microsoft – for Microsoft 365 and other Microsoft work accounts.
    • Sign in with Email – for any email address.

Good to know

  • If you see “We can’t find you in any account”, you signed in with an address nobody has invited. Select Sign Out and Retry and use the invited address, or ask your site contact.
  • If you sign in but see no sites, ask your site manager to add you to a site.
  • Too many code requests from the same network are paused for a few minutes. Wait and try again.
