Set Up a Google Drive Unstructured Connection

Set up the Google Drive connection to start the flow of unstructured data into Data 360.

User Permissions Needed
To create a connection:	System Admin profile or Data Cloud Architect permission set

Before you begin:

Complete the Prepare Your Google Drive Unstructured Data Connection steps to gather the necessary Google Console app credentials.
Verify your admin has enabled firewalls on the system you want Data 360 to connect to by including these IP addresses to your allowlists.

In Salesforce, click Setup, and select Data Cloud Setup.
Under External Integrations, select Other Connectors.
Click New.
On the Source tab, select Google Drive Unstructured Data and click Next.
Enter a connection name, connection API name, and provide the authentication details.
- Client ID: Enter the client ID from the private key JSON.
- Service Account Email Address: Enter the service account email address (ID) to access Google APIs with the format service-account@project-id.iam.gserviceaccount.com.
- Private Key: Enter the private key value from the private key JSON to access Google APIs.
- Scopes: Select Content Only from the dropdown. The connector automatically sets the required Google API scopes (drive.readonly and drive.labels.readonly).
- Customer ID (required): The unique, permanent ID assigned to your organization’s Google Workspace account. Find it in your Google Workspace account settings. Customer ID is required so the connector can call the Drive Labels API and ingest labels along with your files.
To review your configuration, click Test Connection.
Click Save.

After the connector details are accepted, the connection is created and listed under Connectors. You can now create unstructured data lake objects (UDLOs).
