Google Drive and Slides

Drive and Slides are separate connections that reuse the same Google Cloud OAuth client as Gmail and Google Sheets.

Setup

Follow the Google Cloud steps in the Gmail guide, enabling the Google Drive API and the Google Slides API instead of the Gmail API.

GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID=your-client-id
GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET=your-client-secret
GOOGLE_DRIVE_REDIRECT_URI=https://api.yourdomain.com/connect/state
GOOGLE_SLIDES_REDIRECT_URI=https://api.yourdomain.com/connect/state

Scopes

Google Drive
Google Slides

Scope	Grants
`https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive`	Full read and write across Drive
`https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.profile`	Basic profile
`https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.email`	The account’s address

Connect with GET /connect/google-drive.

The drive scope is unrestricted access to every file the account can reach, and Google classifies it as restricted — External apps in production need a security assessment. Where possible, connect a dedicated account that only has access to the files you intend to expose.

Scope	Grants
`https://www.googleapis.com/auth/presentations`	Read and write presentations
`https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.readonly`	List presentations to choose from
`https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.profile`	Basic profile
`https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.email`	The account’s address

Connect with GET /connect/google-slides.

Connect

In your workspace, go to Settings → Integrations and click Connect on Google Drive or Google Slides, then choose the Google account to use. Both request offline access, so the connections survive token expiry without you reconnecting.

Troubleshooting

Symptom	Fix
`has not been used in project`	The Drive or Slides API is not enabled on the project.
`Error 403: access_denied`	App is External and in Testing — add the user as a Test user, or publish.
`File not found`	The file exists but the authorizing account cannot access it. Share it with that account.
Refresh stops after 7 days	Unpublished External apps expire refresh tokens. Publish the app.
`insufficientPermissions`	The connection predates a scope change. Reconnect to re-consent.
