Android may look more or less different, depending on your phone or tablet. The screenshots below are of an older Google Pixel 2 phone, running Android version 11. Different versions of Android, on devices made by different manufacturers are connected to different service providers may look different, but the Google Drive app should work similarly across devices.

If you open the Google Drive app you may see a Google Drive already installed. You probably have a Google account that is separate and unrelated to Canisius College, that’s attached to an @gmail.com email address. The Google Drive associated with that account may already be installed in the Google Drive app, and you are seeing that drive. That’s OK; it will not interfere with your Canisius Google Drive and you’ll be able to use either Google Drive separately from one another, in the same app on your device.
Installing Your Canisius Account as a Google Account
For the account user name, you use a special version of your email address at Canisius:

In the upper right, click the circle icon, to the right of "Search in Drive." In the example above the icon is a picture, but it could just be a simple letter, too.

The following screen will show you which accounts are currently installed. If you have more than one you can easily switch between them to see and use the different Google Drives, but for now, click "Add another account."
Google will direct you to supply the email address that's associated with your account. However, for Canisius Google Drives, we supply a modified version of that our Canisius email address: username@my.canisius.edu. Add the your own username where you see "username," but then add “my.” after the @ sign but before canisius.edu. This is creates a special identifier that Google uses for your Canisius google account, and is necessary so the app can properly identify your account. Once you click ______ Google Drive app learns that yours is a Canisius enterprise education account. After you've keyed in your Google identifier, tap "Next."

The app will then present you with a screen confirming that you are accessing an "my.canisius.edu" account. Click "Accept."
Here's a familiar screen: the Canisius login. Now simply enter your Canisius College username and password, and tap "Login." After that, you should see your Canisius Google Drive content populate your Google Drive app.
