# Google Drive

> Integrate your application with the Google Drive API

## 🚀 Quickstart

Connect to Google Drive with Nango and see data flow in 2 minutes.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Create the integration">
    In Nango ([free signup](https://app.nango.dev)), go to [Integrations](https://app.nango.dev/dev/integrations) -> *Configure New Integration* -> *Google Drive*.

    <Note>
      Nango has credentials you can use for testing. Activate them in the dashboard.
    </Note>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Authorize Google Drive">
    Go to [Connections](https://app.nango.dev/dev/connections) -> *Add Test Connection* -> *Authorize*, then log in to Google Drive. Later, you'll let your users do the same directly from your app.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Call the Google Drive API">
    Let's make your first request to the Google Drive API (fetch a list of files). Replace the placeholders below with your [secret key](https://app.nango.dev/dev/environment-settings), [integration ID](https://app.nango.dev/dev/integrations), and [connection ID](https://app.nango.dev/dev/connections):

    <Tabs>
      <Tab title="cURL">
        ```bash theme={null}
        curl "https://api.nango.dev/proxy/drive/v3/files?pageSize=10" \
          -H "Authorization: Bearer <NANGO-SECRET-KEY>" \
          -H "Provider-Config-Key: <INTEGRATION-ID>" \
          -H "Connection-Id: <CONNECTION-ID>"
        ```
      </Tab>

      <Tab title="Node">
        Install Nango's backend SDK with `npm i @nangohq/node`. Then run:

        ```typescript theme={null}
        import { Nango } from '@nangohq/node';

        const nango = new Nango({ secretKey: '<NANGO-SECRET-KEY>' });

        const res = await nango.get({
            endpoint: '/drive/v3/files',
            params: { pageSize: 10 },
            providerConfigKey: '<INTEGRATION-ID>',
            connectionId: '<CONNECTION-ID>'
        });

        console.log(res.data);
        ```
      </Tab>
    </Tabs>

    Or fetch credentials with the [Node SDK](/reference/sdks/node#get-a-connection-with-credentials) or [API](/reference/api/connection/get).

    ✅ You're connected! Check the [Logs](https://app.nango.dev/dev/logs) tab in Nango to inspect requests.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Implement Nango in your app">
    Follow our [Auth implementation guide](/guides/primitives/auth) to integrate Nango in your app.

    To obtain your own production credentials, follow the setup guide linked below.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## 📚 Google Drive Integration Guides

Nango maintained guides for common use cases.

* [How to register your own Google Drive OAuth app](/api-integrations/google-drive/how-to-register-your-own-google-drive-api-oauth-app)\
  Register an OAuth app with Google Drive and obtain credentials to connect it to Nango

* [Complete integration example with the Nango Sample App](/getting-started/sample-app)
  See a production-ready Google Drive integration with file picker, webhooks, and file syncing. Includes a [demo video walkthrough](https://youtu.be/oTpWlmnv7dM) and [GitHub repository](https://github.com/NangoHQ/sample-app).

* [Google App & Security Review](/api-integrations/google-shared/google-security-review)
  Pass Google's OAuth app verification and CASA security assessment to go to production
