How do I bulk add members to a Google Group?

Please note:

You must be a manager of the Google Group you want to update
The following process will replace current membership of the Group with the members in the file.
Current Manager, Owners, or Sub-Groups will not be modified.
Although there is generally not a limit on the number of members that can be added, depending on the size of your Group and the number of email addresses in the file, it may take some time for the page to respond after you select a file.

Go to this website and login if prompted
Enter the exact email address of the Google Group that you manage that you would like to update

Click SELECT FILE

If prompted to Choose an account, select your UNC Charlotte account and click Allow to provide access.

If the picker fails to load, please make sure that you are logged out of all Google accounts, log back into your University accounts, and try again.

The Select a file window will open - search on Google Drive for and click the file that contains the new Group membership; click Select

The new membership list MUST...

The sync tool will process the list displaying a status bar. When complete, a summary of the changes will be displayed
