# Set Up a Google Drive Unstructured Connection

Set up the Google Drive connection to start the flow of unstructured data into Data 360.

| User Permissions Needed |                                                             |
| ----------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------- |
| To create a connection: | System Admin profile or Data Cloud Architect permission set |

Before you begin:

- Complete the [Prepare Your Google Drive Unstructured Data Connection](https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/data/data-cloud-int/guide/c360-a-prepare-googledrive-unstructured-connection.html) steps to gather the necessary Google Console app credentials.
- Verify your admin has enabled firewalls on the system you want Data 360 to connect to by including these [IP addresses](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.c360_a_data_cloud_ip_address_allowlist.htm&type=5) to your allowlists.

1.  In Salesforce, click **Setup**, and select **Data Cloud Setup**.

2.  Under External Integrations, select **Other Connectors**.

3.  Click **New**.

4.  On the Source tab, select **Google Drive Unstructured Data** and click **Next**.

5.  Enter a connection name, connection API name, and provide the authentication details.

    - Client ID: Enter the client ID from the private key JSON.
    - Service Account Email Address: Enter the service account email address (ID) to access Google APIs with the format `service-account@project-id.iam.gserviceaccount.com`.
    - Private Key: Enter the private key value from the private key JSON to access Google APIs.
    - Scopes: Select **Content Only** from the dropdown. The connector automatically sets the required Google API scopes (`drive.readonly` and `drive.labels.readonly`).
    - Customer ID (required): The unique, permanent ID assigned to your organization's Google Workspace account. Find it in your [Google Workspace account settings](https://admin.google.com/ac/accountsettings/profile). Customer ID is required so the connector can call the Drive Labels API and ingest labels along with your files.

6.  To review your configuration, click **Test Connection**.

7.  Click **Save**.

After the connector details are accepted, the connection is created and listed under Connectors. You can now create unstructured data lake objects (UDLOs).
