When using Google Drive with the AODocs Smartbar extension, a library picker lets you easily see the AODocs libraries you have access to.

Access libraries from the library picker
1. In Google Drive, open the library picker drop-down menu.
Tip: You can use the library picker like a search field to find a library by its name.
Note: All Team Folders and Secured Folders in which you are defined as reader, contributor or library administrator are listed in the library picker, except those in which the visibility is restricted for the type of user you're defined as in the library. Learn more: Restrict the visibility of your library.
2. Select an AODocs library to open it in Google Drive. In the opened library you can see:
- your current location, in the path at the top of the page
- the type of AODocs library you're working on

The icons in the drop-down menu and the library label indicate the type of AODocs library:
Team Folder | |
Secured Folder |
If you are allowed to create new libraries, the New Team Folder button is displayed at the bottom of the list of libraries. Learn more: Create new Team Folders
Notes:
– The library picker isn't displayed if you don’t have access to any libraries or can’t create a new library. In this case, you can only create documents in Google Drive.
– If a shortcut to your library has been pushed to your My Drive, you can access your library directly from your My Drive tree without using the library picker.
Manage your favorite libraries
Your favorite libraries are listed at the top of the library picker drop-down list.
To set a library as a favorite, click the star next to it.

There are some differences in the way favorite libraries are listed in the AODocs interface and in Google Drive:
- You can't view and navigate the folder structure of Document Management libraries in Google Drive, so if you starred any Document Management libraries in AODocs they don't appear in your list of favorites in Google Drive.
- As a super administrator, you must have explicit access in a library for it to appear in your list of favorites in Google Drive.
All favorite libraries, including Document Management libraries, appear in Gmail. Learn more:
