Requirements
Google Drive requires an active account and OAuth client credentials, granted by signing in with your account to connect — both are set up on its own site.[3]
Get your Google Drive credentials
You’ll be redirected to sign in and approve access — your password is never shared with WEXTL.
- Client IDtext
Optional. Your own OAuth 2.0 Client ID from Google Cloud Console. Leave empty to use the platform app.
[1] - Client Secretpassword
Optional. Client Secret for the same OAuth client. Leave empty to use the platform app.
[1] - Additional Scopesarray
Optional. Extra Google OAuth scopes to request on top of the default ones, one full scope URL per item (for example https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive). Duplicates of the default scopes are ignored. Use this with your own Client ID, and enable the same scopes on its OAuth consent screen.

- Optional: In the Credential name field, enter a name for the credential.
- Enter the authentication credentials you copied from your Google Drive account, or follow the on-screen instructions to create the credential.
- If prompted, authenticate your account and confirm access.
- If you want to make changes to your credential in the future, follow the steps in Manage credentials →
Notes
Credentials are org-scoped; share them with teammates from the Credentials picker on any of its nodes.For detailed information on connecting an application, see Connect an application →
