Connect Google Drive

Google Drive Connection Requirements

To connect Vasion to Google Drive you need the following:

• OAuth client ID Credentials
• Client ID and Client Secret details
• Vasion Admin rights

If you do not have the OAuth clent ID credentials or Client ID and Client Secret details, follow the steps below.

Request OAuth client ID Credentials

1. Navigate to https://console.developers.google.com/
2. Select Credentials on the left side
3. In the Credentials page select Create credentials and then select OAuth client ID

For more information about authentication in Google Cloud, see their help section https://cloud.google.com/docs/authentication.

Find Client ID and Client Secret

Once the Credentials are created, or if you already have OAuth Client Credentials, do the following:

1. Open up the Details view
2. Find the Client ID and Client Secret in the top-right corner

It can take 3 minutes or more for the connection to register before it is available to configure in Vasion Automate Pro.
