Set up the Google Drive Connector

The Google Drive connector allows you to link a Google Drive folder to a project folder in raia Command.

Files can be imported once or synchronized on a recurring basis.

Before starting, sign in with the company-managed Google account that will own the Google Cloud project. The account must have permission to create a project, enable APIs, and create OAuth credentials.

   Log in to raia Command.

2. 02

   Open Connectors from the left-hand menu.

3. 03

   Select Google Drive.

4. 04

   Expand the setup instructions.

The setup instructions contain the exact Authorized redirect URI required for the Google OAuth client.

Click the Google Cloud Credentials link in the raia Command setup instructions.

1. 01

   Create a new project.

2. 02

   Enter a recognizable project name, such as raia Command Connector.

Open the Google Auth Platform or OAuth consent screen configuration and click Get started.

Enter:

• An application name, such as raia Command
• A user support email
• A developer contact email

Choose the audience that matches your organization.

For a company-managed Google Workspace account, Internal is normally appropriate. External with Testing status may also be used, but each Google account that will connect must be added under Test users.

Complete the consent-screen setup and accept Google’s required terms.

Open Clients or Credentials and create a new OAuth client.

Configure it as follows:

• Application type: Web application
• Name: raia Command

Do not select Desktop application or Service account.

Under Authorized redirect URIs, add this exact URL:

Click Create. Google will generate:

The OAuth consent configuration must allow the following scopes requested by the connector:

The Google Drive scope is read-only.
