Intro

Google Drive is a file storage and synchronization service developed by Google that enables users to store files in the cloud, synchronize files across devices, and share files. Use the Google Drive OAuth Connector to generate data that can keep track of all the content you have in your Drive, and how much it is getting used. To learn more about the Google Drive API, visit their page (https://developers.google.com/drive/ ). You connect to your Google account in the Data Center. This topic discusses the fields and menus that are specific to the Google Drive connector user interface. General information for adding DataSets, setting update schedules, and editing DataSet information is discussed in Adding a DataSet Using a Connector.

​
Prerequisites

To connect to your Google account and create a Google Drive DataSet, you must have the Google Client ID and Client Secret. For detailed steps to generate the Client ID and Client Secret, refer to https://support.google.com/cloud/answer/6158849?hl=en.
