Google Drive Module

Overview

The Google Drive module connects to the Google Drive API service. The Google Drive API provides a way for developers to access, create, modify, and manage files and folders stored on Google Drive. This module seamlessly integrates Google Drive's file storage capabilities with Decisions.

Google Drive API Configuration

A Google Drive API application, client ID, and client secret key are required to connect Decisions to Google Drive successfully. The following section discusses obtaining a client ID and secret key.

Create a Google Cloud Project

1. Go to the Google Cloud Console.
2. Click on the project drop-down to select an existing project or create a new project.
3. Navigate to "APIs & Services" > "Library."
4. Search for "Google Drive API" and enable it for the project.

Create OAuth 2.0 Credentials

1. Navigate to "APIs & Services" > "OAuth consent screen."
2. Choose "External" or "Internal" user type, depending on the use case.
3. Fill out the required fields such as "App Name," "User Support Email," and "Developer Contact Information."
4. Provide the Scopes for the project and add Test Users.
   
5. Navigate to "APIs & Services" > "Credentials."
6. Click on "Create Credentials" and choose "OAuth client ID."
7. Select "Web application" as the application type. 
8. Provide the necessary details, including the "Authorized redirect URIs." Click "Create."
