Google Drive Component

Manage files in Google Drive

Component key: google-drive

Description

Google Drive is Google's cloud storage for work and home. This component allows you to create, copy, download, update, list, and delete files stored in a Google Drive Account.

Documentation for the Node.js client used in this component can be found at https://developers.google.com/drive/api/v3/quickstart/nodejs.

A common integration pattern involves listing files in a file store, and performing a series of actions on the array of files that are returned. See our looping over files quickstart for information about how to create a loop over an array of files.

Tracking Changes in Google Drive

To track changes within Google Drive, use the List Changes action. You can either run List Changes on a schedule with a schedule trigger (for example, check for changes every 5 minutes), or you can use Google Drive's change API to receive notifications in real time when changes occur.

For an example of how to use webhooks with Google Drive, import this example integration available on GitHub.

Connections

OAuth2

The Google Drive component authenticates requests through the Google Cloud Platform (GCP) OAuth 2.0 service. You'll need to create a GCP OAuth 2.0 app so your integration can authenticate and perform Google Drive tasks on your customers' behalf.

To create a Google Drive OAuth 2.0 app, first make sure you have a Google Developer account - you can sign up at https://console.cloud.google.com/. Then:

Open up the Google Drive API console - https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/api/drive.googleapis.com
Click CREATE PROJECT if you would like to create a new GCP project, or select an existing project.
You will be prompted to enable Google Drive API for your project. Click ENABLE.
On the sidebar, select Credentials.
An OAuth 2.0 app includes a "Consent Screen" (the page that asks "Do you want to allow (Your Company) to access Google Drive on your behalf?"). Click CONFIGURE CONSENT SCREEN.
1. Your app will be externally available to your customers, so choose a User Type of External.
2. Fill out the OAuth consent screen with an app name (your company or product's name), support email, app logo, domain, etc.
3. You can ignore domains for now.
4. On the next page, add the scope https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.
5. Enter some test users for your testing purposes. Your app will only work for those testing users until it is "verified" by Google. When you are ready for verification (they verify your privacy policy statement, etc), click PUBLISH APP on the OAuth consent screen. That'll allow your customers to authorize your integration to access their Google Drive.
Once your "Consent Screen" is configured open the Credentials page from the sidebar again.
Click +CREATE CREDENTIALS and select OAuth client ID.
1. Under Application type select Web application.
2. Under Authorized redirect URIs enter Prismatic's OAuth 2.0 callback URL: https://oauth2.prismatic.io/callback
3. Click CREATE.
Take note of the Client ID and Client Secret that are generated.

info

Make sure to publish your OAuth 2.0 app after you've tested it so users outside of your test users can authorize your integration to interact with Google Drive on their behalf.

Now that you have a Client ID and Client Secret, add Google Drive step to your integration in Prismatic. Open the Configuration Wizard Designer by clicking Configuration Wizard, select your Google Drive Connection and enter your client ID and secret. You will probably want to keep the default Google Drive scope, https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.
