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.](https://console.cloud.google.com/welcome) 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.**![](https://cdn.document360.io/6ef8bcc1-6489-4486-9ad1-83acff7e5df0/Images/Documentation/2023-09-29_13h38_38.png) 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.**" 9. A dialog will appear that will display the Client ID and a client secret. Keep these values secure, as they are used in the application to authenticate with Google services.![](https://cdn.document360.io/6ef8bcc1-6489-4486-9ad1-83acff7e5df0/Images/Documentation/2023-09-29_13h31_02.png) --- ## Decisions Configuration ### Create OAuth Provider and Token 1. Navigate to **System > Integrations > OAuth > Providers**. Select [ADD OAUTH PROVIDER](/v9/docs/establishing-an-oauth-provider). 2. In the **Add OAuth Provider** dialog, select OAuth2 as the OAuth Version, then configure the **Token Request URL**, **Authorize URL**, **Callback URL**, **Default Consumer Key**, and **Default Consumer Secret Key.**In the Google Drive Application, the Default Consumer Key is the Client ID, and the Default Consumer Secret Key is the Client ID. Select **SAVE.** | URL | Example URL | | --- | --- | | Token Request URL | https://oauth2.googleapis.com/token | | Authorize URL | https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth | | Callback URL | http://[baseportalurl]/decisions/HandleTokenResponse | ![](https://cdn.document360.io/6ef8bcc1-6489-4486-9ad1-83acff7e5df0/Images/Documentation/Screenshot%202024-04-17%20132258.png) 3. Navigate to **System > Integrations > OAuth > Tokens** and click [CREATE TOKEN](/v9/docs/creating-oauth-tokens). 4. Enter a name for the Token, and select Google Drive API as the Provider. 5. Provide the desired [Scopes](https://developers.google.com/identity/protocols/oauth2/scopes#drive), then select **Request Token**. A browser window will display, asking permission to connect. 6. After allowing access select **OK**to close the **Create and Store OAuth Credentials**window**.** --- ## Google Drive Steps The Google Drive steps can be found in the **Toolbox**panel under **INTEGRATION > GOOGLE DRIVE.** | Step Name | Description | | --- | --- | | [Create Folder](https://documentation.decisions.com/step-library/docs/create-folder-google) | This step creates a new folder in Google Drive; specify the folder's name and, optionally, the parent folder where it should be created. | | [Delete Resource](https://documentation.decisions.com/step-library/docs/delete-resource-google) | This step deletes a file or folder from Google Drive based on the provided ID of the resource. | | [Does Resource Exist](https://documentation.decisions.com/step-library/docs/does-resource-exist-google) | Use this step to check if a file or folder exists in Google Drive based on its name or ID. It helps determine whether a specific resource is present in a given location. | | [Download File](https://documentation.decisions.com/step-library/docs/download-file-google) | This step downloads a file from Google Drive to your application or storage location, with the need to specify the ID of the file to download. | | [Get File List](https://documentation.decisions.com/step-library/docs/get-file-list-google) | Retrieve a list of files from a specific folder in Google Drive. Filters can be applied to narrow down the list based on criteria such as file type or name. | | [Get Folder List](https://documentation.decisions.com/step-library/docs/get-folder-list-google) | Similar to the "Get File List" step, this one retrieves a list of folders from a specific location in Google Drive. You can filter the results based on folder names or other criteria. | | [Get Resource Permission](https://documentation.decisions.com/step-library/docs/get-resource-permission) | Obtain information about the permissions (access rights) associated with a specific file or folder in Google Drive. This step helps understand who can view, edit, or share the resource. | | [Set Resource Permission](https://documentation.decisions.com/step-library/docs/set-resource-permission) | This step modifies the permissions for a file or folder in Google Drive, allowing you to grant or revoke access to specific users or groups. | | [Upload File](https://documentation.decisions.com/step-library/docs/upload-file-google) | This step uploads a file to Google Drive, with the ability to specify the file's name, content, and the folder where it should be stored. |
