Navigate to the Settings module > Folders, reports & documents > Storage and folders
Go to the storage provider tab
Click the create storage provider icon

Select Google Drive in the dropdown menu then click OK
Enable the new Google Drive storage provider by selecting the checkbox under column “Enabled”
Then click on the Authenticate button from the Sub-grid (the little key icon).

The reason for this action is that WorkBook has not yet verified the application. This step will be obsolete once it has been verified.

Click go to WorkBook (unsafe)

On the next page loaded > click Allow

After clicking allow the last pop up will appear and this includes a code that you will need to copy (by either pressing Ctrl + c / Cmd + C from your keyboard)

Navigate back into WorkBook > paste the code into the Google drive value field

Once the code has been input, you’re done with the installation of Google Drive!

You can now enable the new storage and run the test to ensure there is no error and the integration has been successfully set up.
