AODocs authentication is based on Google Accounts. However, users without a Google Account can collaborate in AODocs in one of the following ways:
- Access the AODocs platform
If you don’t have a Google Workspace or Gmail account and you want to keep your current email address to work in AODocs, follow the procedure described in this article. It describes how to create a Google Account associated with your non-Gmail address. This will allow you to access the AODocs and Google Drive interfaces. - Access AODocs document attachments
If your company or organization has signed up to our early access program, contributors can share document attachments in Secured Folders and Document Management libraries with non-Google users. This is based on Google's visitor sharing feature, which is integrated into AODocs. To request access to the early access program, contact your sales representatives or send an email to: sales@aodocs.com.
