Opening a connection to Google Drive

Configure the tGoogleDriveConnection component to connect to Google Drive using a client secret JSON file.

Before you begin

The client secret JSON file has been downloaded into a local folder through Google API Console. For more information, see How to access Google Drive using a client secret JSON file.
An empty folder Talend has been created in the root directory of Google Drive.

Double-click the tGoogleDriveConnection component to open its Basic settings view in the Component tab.
In the Application Name field, enter the application name required by Google Drive to get access to its API. In this example, it is TalendProject.
Select Installed Application (JSON) from the OAuth Method drop-down list.
In the Client Secret JSON field, specify the path to the client secret JSON file you have generated, D:/client_secret.json in this example.
