Google Drive Account

To use a Google Drive account for managing your files in GC, you must contact us and provide the API key (JSON file) and the root folder ID.

Steps to configure your Google Drive account:

1. Go to: https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/dashboard
2. Create a new project using the top menu and assign a name (e.g., GC)
3. In the product search bar, look for Google Drive API and click Enable
4. On the left panel, click Credentials
5. Click Create Credentials at the top and choose Service Account
6. Assign a name (e.g., GC) and click Done

   A service account email will be generated

7. Edit the newly created service account (pencil icon), go to the Keys tab, and click Add Key > JSON

   The key file will be automatically downloaded

Create and share the folder in Google Drive

1. Access your Google Drive account
2. Create a specific folder to store GC files

   ⚠️ The folder must not be in Google Workspace Shared Drives — it must be in your main personal drive

3. Share the folder with the service account email generated earlier
4. In your browser’s address bar, after opening the folder, copy the string that appears after /folders/

   This is the folder ID — send us this value along with the JSON file

Once configured, GC will be able to integrate directly with your Google Drive account for reading and writing files.
