# OAuth Setup

This section walks through setting up the Google Drive connector using a OAuth-enabled Google App.
Anyone can do this (even without a paid Google Workspace)!

If you're an organization with a Google Workspace, and you'd rather use a Service Account to access Google Drive,
checkout the section [here](/connectors/google_drive/service_account).

### Authorization

1. Create a **Google Cloud Project**
   * [https://console.cloud.google.com/projectcreate](https://console.cloud.google.com/projectcreate)

2. Enable the **Google Drive API**
   * On the left panel, open **APIs & services**
   * Go to **Enabled APIs and services**
   * On the top click **+ENABLE APIS AND SERVICES**
   * Search for **Google Drive API** and click **ENABLE**
   * Alternatively visit this [link](https://console.cloud.google.com/flows/enableapi?apiid=drive.googleapis.com),
     select your project and enable the **Google Drive API**

3. Set up the OAuth consent screen
   * Under **APIs & services**, select the **OAuth consent screen** tab
   * If you don't have a **Google Organization** select **External** for **User Type**
   * Call the app Danswer (or whatever you want)
   * For the required emails, use any email of your choice or `founders@danswer.ai`
     if you wish for the Danswer team to help handle issues.
   * Click **SAVE AND CONTINUE**

4. Set up Scopes
   * Add the scope `.../auth/drive.readonly` for `Google Drive API`

5. Set up Test users
   * This is only applicable for users without a Google Organization.
     * Typically for a company, Danswer would be set up as an internal app so this step would not apply.
   * Add at least one test user email. Only the email accounts added here will be allowed to run the OAuth
     flow to index new documents.
   * Click **SAVE AND CONTINUE**, review the changes and click **BACK TO DASHBOARD**

6. Create Credentials
   * Go to the **Credentials** tab and select **+ CREATE CREDENTIALS** -> **OAuth client ID**
     ![GoogleDriveCredential](https://mintlify.s3-us-west-1.amazonaws.com/edux/images/connectors/google_drive/GoogleDriveCredential.png)

   * Choose **Web application** and give it some name like `DanswerConnector`

   * Add a **Authorized JavaScript origins** for `http://localhost:3000` (or `https://<INTERNAL_DEPLOYMENT_URL>` if you have setup Danswer for production use)

   * Add a **Authorized redirect URIs** for `http://localhost:3000/admin/connectors/google-drive/auth/callback` (or `https://<INTERNAL_DEPLOYMENT_URL>/admin/connectors/google-drive/auth/callback` if you have setup Danswer for production use)
     ![GoogleDriveScopes](https://mintlify.s3-us-west-1.amazonaws.com/edux/images/connectors/google_drive/DriveCredentials.png)

   * Click create and on the right hand side next to **Client secret**, there is an option to download the
     credentials as a JSON. Download the JSON for use in the next step.

### Indexing

1. Navigate to the Admin Dashboard and select the **Google Drive** Connector.
2. Select the credentials JSON from **step 6** above as shown in image below, then click the **Upload** button to save your credentials into Danswer.
3. Click on **Authenticate with Google Drive**
   * Completing the OAuth flow will allow Danswer to index the docs that the user has read access to.
4. Click the `Add` button! All Google Drive documents accessible by the user who completed step (3) will now be pulled into Danswer every **10** minutes.
