About Lucidchart
Asking for permission?
When you first access Lucidchart, it will ask for your permission to allow Lucidchart to view your email address, view your basic profile info, and view and manage Google Drive files and folders that you have opened or created with this app. After you select allow and access Lucidchart for the first time, Lucidchart will create a folder in your My Drive where your charts are stored at. This allows you to share your charts with anybody, or you can share within Lucidchart itself.
Free version gets what?
Students and teachers receive 10 free Lucidchart documents. Wow, that's a lot.
What devices can this be used on?
Lucidchart works on all devices, including Chromebooks.
