Google Drive
This guide shows how to create a custom OAuth client in Google Cloud, enable Google Drive access, and enter the resulting credentials in Air Cluster.
Follow the steps in order. The screenshots show the Google Cloud and Air Cluster screens you should see along the way.
Create a separate Google Cloud project to hold the credentials that Air Cluster will use for Google Drive.
Sign in to Google Cloud Resource Manager and choose Create Project. You may use a different Google account from the one whose Google Drive storage you will connect.
Enter a recognizable project name, such as Google Drive Custom ID, and confirm the new project.
Select the project you just created and open its project settings before continuing.
The custom client needs the Google Drive API enabled in the project before it can request access to a Drive account.
Open the project navigation menu.
Go to APIs & Services, then open Enabled APIs & services.
Choose Enable APIs and services to open the API Library.
Search the library for Google Drive API.
Open the Google Drive API result and select Enable.
Confirm that Google Drive API is enabled, then return to the APIs & Services overview.
Set the information Google shows while a user authorizes this custom client.
From APIs & Services, open OAuth consent screen.
Choose External for a personal client. Choose Internal only when the client will be used exclusively in your organization, then select Create.
Provide an app name, a user-support email, and developer contact information. Use an email address you can access, then save and continue.
Select the Google Drive permission that allows Air Cluster to work with your files after authorization.
On the OAuth consent screen, select Add or Remove Scopes.
Filter the available scopes for Google Drive API. Select the scope ending in /auth/drive, then choose Update.
Save the updated scope selection at the bottom of the consent-screen page.
Allow the Google account that will use this client to authorize it during the testing phase.
Open the Test users section and choose to add a user.
Add the Google account you will connect to Air Cluster, then save the test-user list.
Create the Client ID and Client Secret that Air Cluster will use during the Google authorization flow.
Open Credentials, select Create Credentials, and choose OAuth client ID.
Select Desktop app as the application type. The suggested name is fine, then choose Create.
Copy the Client ID and Client Secret from the confirmation window. You will enter both values in Air Cluster.
Publish the consent screen so the custom client can be used outside the test configuration.
Return to OAuth consent screen, select Publish App, and confirm the action. Google verification is not required for using this client with Air Cluster.
Use the dedicated GoogleDrive Custom Client Id account type to add the credentials to Air Cluster.
In Air Cluster, choose Add Accounts and select GoogleDrive Custom Client Id.
Enter the Client ID and Client Secret you copied from Google Cloud. A browser window will then open for Google authorization.
Complete the final Google authorization flow in the browser to finish adding the account.
Sign in with the Google account that you added as a test user.
Open Advanced on the Google warning screen.
Choose the option to continue to your Google Drive Custom ID client.
Review the confirmation page and select Continue.
Review the requested Google Drive permissions, select the required access, and continue to complete the connection.
