Wish to save my miro board to google-drive, though google drive is not showing on my export button as an option. Is it not available with the free version?
However, I should note that this will not actually export the board to your Google Drive. It simple makes a link in your Google Drive that, when double-clicked, opens the board in Miro. It is just a shortcut and is misleading. Read more in the Board Export Help Center article.

When I finally tried this feature and realized that it was only creating a link, I was confused and disappointed. When you said you couldn’t find it, I was almost happy thinking Miro finally canned it.
Hi
Do you know what I need to do next? I daily upload files to google drive and am not aware of restrictions that I normally have with Google Drive within our infrastructure.
Saving to google drive: yes I note that it only provides a link; we would therefore keep a register of our Miro boards in Miro but by creating a link in Google Drive all staff can access and the links put into our Miro Boards (to foto galleries or specific documents etc. ) would stay active. This is the issue now; when I save a pdf of my miro board, these links go passive.
Thanks if you can guide me through this permission issue.
Maybe first trying using the upload feature and select Google Drive:

This should prompt you to select a Google account to connect to:

NOTE: Miro used to be called RealtimeBoard.
