Google Drive (Business)

This guide explains what you, as the customer, need to provide to enable the integration between your Google Drive (Business) CMS and our platform.

1. Prerequisites

Before proceeding, ensure you have the following:

  • A Google Business Suite account.

  • A Service Account Email ID for impersonation.

2. Grant Access to the Service Account

Google does not provide an API to approve admin consent, so the admin of your organization must manually grant the Google Drive API access to the Marketplace service account.

Steps to Grant Access

  1. Restrict Broad Access:

    • Remove any broad access permissions that were previously granted.

    • Scopes and client IDs are not needed for this integration.

  2. Grant Access to Specific Files and Folders:

    • Share individual files and folders with the Service Account Email ID ([email protected]).

    • Grant Viewer access permissions to the service account.

This approach ensures that the service account only has access to the specific files and folders you explicitly share, rather than having unrestricted access to your entire Google Drive.
