Google Drive API Integrations
Build and run workflows using the Google Drive API. Use 1000s of source-available triggers and actions across 1400+ apps. Or write custom code to integrate any app or API in seconds.
Overview#
Using the Google Drive API, you can build applications that:
- Create and manage files and folders
- Download and upload files
- Share and organize files
- Search for files
- Track changes to files
- And much more!
Troubleshooting
Google Advanced Protection Program must be disabled in order to use the Google Drive app on Pipedream.
If you encounter the error "Google cannot give this app access to your account data because Advanced Protection is turned on for your Google Account", you will need to disable this setting as it blocks third-party apps from accessing Google Drive.
import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
props: {
google_drive: {
type: "app",
app: "google_drive",
}
},
async run({steps, $}) {
return await axios($, {
url: `https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v1/userinfo`,
headers: {
Authorization: `Bearer ${this.google_drive.$auth.oauth_access_token}`,
},
})
},
})

Authentication#
Google Drive uses OAuth authentication. When you connect your Google Drive account, Pipedream will open a popup window where you can sign into Google Drive and grant Pipedream permission to connect to your account. Pipedream securely stores and automatically refreshes the OAuth tokens so you can easily authenticate any Google Drive API.
Pipedream requests the following authorization scopes when you connect your account:
emailprofilehttps://www.googleapis.com/auth/drivehttps://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.readonly- authorization
