Google Drive connection

If you will be creating datasets that process Google Workspace's Drive data, you must complete additional tasks to enable processing by Fusion.

NOTE: Fusion supports processing of data from Google Workspace's Drive; data from personal Google Drives is not supported.

Fusion uses a service account to access the user drives within your Google Workspace. Use of the service account provides the opportunity to access the drives without requiring individual end-user (employee) consent, and the access does not expire.

In Fusion, a dataset to process Google Drive data is associated with a single user account Google Drive.

Requirements

Prior to beginning the connection tasks, you must have the following in place.

  • A Google Workspace for the domain that includes the desired users' drives.

  • A Google project within the Workspace, with the User Type set to Internal.

    Set the User Type for the project in the Google Cloud Platform, APIs & Services > OAth consent screen.

Review your Google Cloud document quotas to ensure ideal performance. For more information about document quotas, see the Google Cloud documentation at https://cloud.google.com/docs/quota.

Configure Google Drive connection

Complete the following tasks to enable Fusion to connect to and process items from Google Drive.

Configure cloud connection web proxy settings (Optional)

The Google Drive processor service controlled by the processing agent requires connectivity to the Fusion cloud components, often located away from the local network where the agent host servers are located. Although direct connectivity is ideal, use of a web proxy may be required in some environments for the agent systems to reach the Fusion cloud.
