Use this connector to export your data from a Domo DataSet into Google Drive. To learn more about the Google Drive API, visit their page ([https://developers.google.com/drive/](https://developers.google.com/drive/ "https://developers.google.com/drive/") ). You export data to Google Drive in the Data Center. This topic discusses the fields and menus that are specific to the Google Drive Writeback connector user interface. General information for adding DataSets, setting update schedules, and editing DataSet information is discussed in [Adding a DataSet Using a Data Connector](/s/article/360042926274 "Adding a DataSet Using a Data Connector"). **Note:** The owner of a writeback dataset must also be an owner or co-owner of the input dataset. ## Prerequisites To configure this connector, you will need the following: * A project created in the Google Developers Console with the Google Drive API enabled. * A Domo Client ID and Client Secret. * A Google Service Token JSON file. The following steps explain in detail how to create your project and obtain the needed credentials. ### Step 1: Creating a Project in the Google Developers Console To create a project in the Google Developers Console, do the following: 1. Go to [https://console.developers.google.com](https://console.developers.google.com "https://console.developers.google.com"). 2. Click the dropdown arrow next to **My Project**. googlesheets_writeback_1.png 3. Click **New Project**. googlesheets_writeback_2.png 4. Name your project and select the parent folder. 5. Click **Create**. **Note:** You can also use an existing project if you want. ### Step 2: Enabling the Google Drive API To enable the Google Sheets for your project, do the following: 1. In the Google Developers Console, select your project and click **Library**. googlesheets_writeback_3.png 2. Search for the Google Drive API. 3. Click **Enable**. googledrive_writeback_1.png ### Step 3: Creating a Service Account To create a Service Account, do the following: 1. In the Google Developers Console, open the **Credentials** tab. 2. Click **Create credentials** then select **Service account key**. googlesheets_writeback_5.png 3. Select **New service account**. 4. Name the new service account. 5. In the **Role** dropdown, select **Project > Owner**. 6. For the **Key type**, select **JSON**. googledrive_writeback_2.png 7. Click **Create**, then **Save**. 8. Select a safe location for the file, as you will need it soon. 9. Once the file is created, click **Manage service accounts** on the far right. googledrive_writeback_3.png 10. Copy the email address for the project you created. googledrive_writeback_4.png 11. Log into the Google Drive account ([https://www.google.com/drive](https://www.google.com/drive "https://www.google.com/drive") ) in which you want to save the files. 12. Create a new Google Drive folder. googledrive_writeback_5.png 13. Go into the new folder and share it with the email address you copied in step 10. 14. Copy the URL into the folder, as you will need to refer to it later. It will look something like this: [https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1TOdpy2kki8-pealAGXWwCYF8EyiwxWMW](https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1TOdpy2kki8-pealAGXWwCYF8EyiwxWMW) ### Step 4: Creating a Domo Client ID and Client Secret To create a Domo client ID and client secret, do the following: 1. Navigate to [https://developer.domo.com](https://developer.domo.com "https://developer.domo.com") and log in. 2. Click **New Client** (found under "My Account" in the top right corner). 3. Create a new client with Application Scopes of **Data** and **User**. googledrive_writeback_6.png When you click **Create**, you will be redirected to the client ID and client secret. 4. Copy the client ID and client secret, as you will need them soon. ## Configuring the Connection This section enumerates the options in the **Credentials** and **Details** panes in the Google Drive Writeback Connector page. The components of the other panes in this page, **Scheduling** and **Name & Describe Your DataSet**, are universal across most connector types and are discussed in greater length in [Adding a DataSet Using a Data Connector](/s/article/360042926274 "Adding a DataSet Using a Data Connector"). ### Credentials Pane This pane contains fields for entering credentials to connect to your Domo developer account as well as your Google Drive destination folder. The following table describes what is needed for each field:

Field

Description

Domo Client ID

Paste the Domo client ID you copied in Step 4: Creating a Domo Client ID and Client Secret, in the "Prerequisites" section above.

Domo Client Secret

Paste the Domo client secret you copied in Step 4: Creating a Domo Client ID and Client Secret, in the "Prerequisites" section above.

Service Token JSON

Paste the JSON Service Token you generated in Step 3: Creating a Service Account, in the "Prerequisites," above.

googledrive_writeback_7.png Once you have entered valid credentials, you can use the same account any time you go to set up a new Domo-Google Drive connection. You can manage connector accounts in the **Accounts** tab in the Data Center. For more information about this tab, see [Managing User Accounts for Connectors](/s/article/360042926054 "Managing User Accounts for Connectors"). ### Details Pane This pane contains a number of fields for specifying your data and indicating where it's going.

Menu

Description

Input Folder ID

Enter the ID of the Google Drive folder you want to push your data to (which you should have copied in Step 3: Creating a Service Account, above). This is the portion of the URL after the last / . For example, in the URL [https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1TOdpy2kki8-pealAGXWwCYF8EyiwxWMW](https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1TOdpy2kki8-pealAGXWwCYF8EyiwxWMW) , the ID is 1TOdpy2kki8-pealAGXWwCYF8EyiwxWMW .

Input DataSet ID

Enter the DataSet ID (GUID) for the DataSet you want to copy to Google Drive. You can find the ID by opening the details view for the DataSet in the Data Center and looking at the portion of the URL following datasources/ . For example, in the URL [https://mycompany.domo.com/datasources/845305d8-da3d-4107-a9d6-13ef3f86d4a4/details/overview](https://mycompany.domo.com/datasources/845305d8-da3d-4107-a9d6-13ef3f86d4a4/details/overview) , the DataSet ID is 845305d8-da3d-4107-a9d6-13ef3f86d4a4.

Select Filename

Select whether you want to reference your DataSet using the Input DataSet ID or an output file name.

Filename

Enter the output file name for your data.

Overwrite File

Check this box if you want to overwrite existing files of the same name.
