Here are instructions on how to add Snapverter to your account and how to use it.
Installing Snapverter
To install Snapverter to your G Suite account, go to snapverter.texthelp.com.

In Google Drive, the Snapverter folder will be created in My Drive and will contain additional folders which will be used when converting files.
Snapverter will recognize the following formats for conversion: PDF (Text inaccessible Scans), JPEG, PNG, BMP, and TIFF. For Daisy to EPUB conversions, it will only accept ZIP files.
