Google Drive

Overview

This guide explains how to connect your Google Drive account as an external object storage service within LLM Labs. Integrating Google Drive allows you to directly access and use your files stored in Google Drive within your LLM Labs projects and workflows.

To connect your drive, you first need its unique Shared drive ID.

1. Open Google Drive.

2. In the left-hand menu, click on Shared drives and open the specific drive you want to connect.

3. Look at the URL in your browser's address bar. The ID is the long string of characters at the end.

   Example URL:https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/folders/0A-bCdEfGhIjKlMnOpQrStUvWxYzAbC

   In this example, 0A-bCdEfGhIjKlMnOpQrStUvWxYzAbC is the Shared Drive ID.

4. Copy this ID. You'll need it in a moment.

2. Go to the External object storage section and click Add external object storage.

   
3. A dialog box will appear showing the available providers. Select Google Drive.

   
4. The Google Drive integration dialog will now appear. Paste the Shared Drive ID you copied earlier into the input field. Click the Authorize button.

   
5. You will be redirected to a standard Google Choose an account page. Select the Google account that has permission to access the shared drive you are connecting.

   
6. Google will now ask you to grant Datasaur specific permissions. This is necessary for our app to read the files from your drive and use them in LLM Labs. Click Allow to approve the connection and proceed.

   
7. After clicking Allow, you'll be redirected back to Datasaur. Your Google Drive will now appear in your list of connected external storage.
