How to Unlink Google, Outlook, or OneDrive from Acrobat Mobile
Question details
The user wants to remove connected cloud storage accounts, such as Google, Outlook, or OneDrive, from their mobile PDF application.
- Product
- Adobe Acrobat Mobile
- Device & OS
- not provided
- Scenario
- Managing connected cloud drives and cleaning up unwanted account integrations within the mobile app.
- Observed behavior
- The option to unlink or remove the connected cloud account does not appear in the standard menus, leaving the user unable to log out of specific cloud drives.
Ensure you have an active internet connection and that you are on the primary 'Files' tab within the Acrobat mobile app before attempting to modify account settings.
Use the Swipe Gesture to Remove Connected Accounts
Since the unlink option is hidden from standard menus, you must use a specific left-swipe gesture on the account name to reveal the removal tool.
Acrobat mobile streamlines its interface by hiding certain management settings behind touch gestures. To manage connected cloud services, you need to interact directly with the account list in your Files tab.
Launch the Acrobat mobile app on your device and tap on the 'Files' tab located in the main navigation menu.
Scroll through your files and locations to find the specific connected account (Google, Outlook, or OneDrive) that you wish to remove.
Press and hold the account name, then swipe your finger from right to left across the screen. This action will display a hidden red minus icon next to the account.
Tap the red minus icon. The app will instantly unlink the selected cloud storage account and remove it from your list of connected locations.
Manage Your PDFs and Cloud Files Seamlessly with WPS Office
If you are looking for a more intuitive way to manage your documents and cloud storage connections, WPS Office provides a free, lightweight, and highly compatible alternative. Access, edit, and organize PDFs and Office files across multiple cloud services with a user-friendly interface.
- 1. Download and Install WPS Office: Get the WPS Office mobile app from your device's app store for free.
- 2. Access Cloud Integration: Open the app, tap on the 'Open' menu, and select 'Add Cloud Storage' to see a list of supported providers.
- 3. Manage Accounts Easily: Log in to Google Drive, OneDrive, or Dropbox. You can easily remove them later by tapping the settings gear icon next to the drive name.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why can't I find a standard 'log out' button for Google Drive in Acrobat Mobile?
Acrobat Mobile opts for a minimalist interface, embedding some account management features into touch gestures. Instead of a standard menu button, you must swipe from right to left on the account name under the 'Files' tab to reveal the unlink option.
Will unlinking my OneDrive account delete my PDF files?
No. Unlinking a cloud storage account from the mobile app only revokes the app's access to view those files. Your original documents remain perfectly safe and untouched on your cloud drive.
Can I add my Google or Outlook account back after removing it?
Yes, you can reconnect your accounts at any time. Simply navigate to the 'Files' tab, select the option to add a new location or account, and enter your login credentials to restore access.
