Google Drive is a cloud storage service, and like any cloud storage service, its main purpose is to expand your ability to store files beyond the limits of your hard drive.

This document will provide some detail on linking your Appenate app with Google Drive storage, using the built-in connector provided for this. For more detailed information on the Google Drive service, consult the official support documentation.

Before you add a Google Drive Connector, you must ensure a valid Google Connection is set up on your organization. (Additional information can be found here: Adding Data Connections)
