Try out the [example pipeline on this page](#example), which downloads all files from your Google Drive. #### Common ```yml processors: label: "" google_drive_download: credentials_json: "" # No default (optional) file_id: "" # No default (required) mime_type: "" # No default (required) shared_drives: false ``` #### Advanced ```yml processors: label: "" google_drive_download: credentials_json: "" # No default (optional) file_id: "" # No default (required) mime_type: "" # No default (required) export_mime_types: application/vnd.google-apps.document: "text/markdown" application/vnd.google-apps.drawing: "image/png" application/vnd.google-apps.presentation: "application/pdf" application/vnd.google-apps.script: "application/vnd.google-apps.script+json" application/vnd.google-apps.spreadsheet: "text/csv" shared_drives: false ``` ## [](#authentication)Authentication By default, this processor uses [Google Application Default Credentials (ADC)](https://cloud.google.com/docs/authentication/application-default-credentials) to authenticate with Google APIs. To set up local ADC authentication, use the following `gcloud` commands: - Authenticate using Application Default Credentials and grant read-only access to your Google Drive. ```bash gcloud auth application-default login --scopes='openid,https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.email,https://www.googleapis.com/auth/cloud-platform,https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.readonly' ``` - Assign a quota project to the Application Default Credentials when using a user account. ```bash gcloud auth application-default set-quota-project ``` Replace the `` placeholder with your Google Cloud project ID To use a service account instead, create a JSON key for the account and add it to the [`credentials_json`](#credentials_json) field. To access Google Drive files using a service account, either: - Explicitly share files with the service account’s email account - Use [domain-wide delegation](https://support.google.com/a/answer/162106) to share all files within a Google Workspace ## [](#fields)Fields ### [](#credentials_json)`credentials_json` The JSON key for your service account (optional). If left empty, Application Default Credentials are used. For more details, see [Authentication](#authentication). > ⚠️ **CAUTION** > > This field contains sensitive information that usually shouldn’t be added to a configuration directly. For more information, see [Manage Secrets](https://docs.redpanda.com/cloud-data-platform/develop/connect/configuration/secret-management/) before adding it to your configuration. **Type**: `string` ### [](#export_mime_types)`export_mime_types` Maps Google Drive MIME types to [supported file export formats](https://developers.google.com/workspace/drive/api/guides/ref-export-formats). The MIME type is the key, and the export format is the value. **Type**: `string` **Default**: ```yaml application/vnd.google-apps.document: "text/markdown" application/vnd.google-apps.drawing: "image/png" application/vnd.google-apps.presentation: "application/pdf" application/vnd.google-apps.script: "application/vnd.google-apps.script+json" application/vnd.google-apps.spreadsheet: "text/csv" ``` ```yaml # Examples: export_mime_types: application/vnd.google-apps.document: application/pdf application/vnd.google-apps.drawing: application/pdf application/vnd.google-apps.presentation: application/pdf application/vnd.google-apps.spreadsheet: application/pdf # --- export_mime_types: application/vnd.google-apps.document: application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document application/vnd.google-apps.drawing: image/svg+xml application/vnd.google-apps.presentation: application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.presentationml.presentation application/vnd.google-apps.spreadsheet: application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet ``` ### [](#file_id)`file_id` The ID of the file to download from Google Drive. This field supports [interpolation functions](https://docs.redpanda.com/cloud-data-platform/develop/connect/configuration/interpolation/#bloblang-queries). **Type**: `string` ### [](#mime_type)`mime_type` The [MIME type](https://developers.google.com/workspace/drive/api/guides/mime-types) of the file for download. This field supports [interpolation functions](https://docs.redpanda.com/cloud-data-platform/develop/connect/configuration/interpolation/#bloblang-queries). **Type**: `string` ### [](#shared_drives)`shared_drives` Whether or not to include shared drives. **Type**: `bool` **Default**: `false` ## [](#example)Example This example downloads all files from a Google Drive. ```yaml input: stdin: {} pipeline: processors: - google_drive_search: query: "${!content().string()}" - mutation: 'meta path = this.name' - google_drive_download: file_id: "${!this.id}" mime_type: "${!this.mimeType}" output: file: path: "${!@path}" codec: all-bytes ```
