Open the terms of service, then check accept and continue.
Go to the “Drive” tab

Once your Google Drive is linked, you're all set to access drive files on the BenQs while logged in with your accounts.
BenQ AMS Login Badge/Card:
If you have not received a login badge, please submit a ticket for a BenQ AMS login badge. These can be used on the board to log into your BenQ accounts quickly. These can only be used on the new BenQ boards; older models do not have this function. Note that when attempting a login on a new device, it will ask for a multifactor authentication code.
Instashare2:
For those who want to screencast their laptops to the BenQs, use the Instashare2 app that should’ve been pushed to all staff devices.
Open the Instashare2 app.
After accepting the terms of service, a list of active BenQ boards will be displayed. The boards are named after the REMC red tag number thats attached to the bezel.
Select your board
Choose Device to Board
Pick the screen you're sharing (most will only have one screen), then hit the Share at the bottom of the window.
The board should now be displaying your laptop display. Through this, you can also control your laptop from the Board with the touch screen.
