Setting Up Google Drive API with a Service Account
This guide walks you through setting up the Google Drive API using a Service Account. It is tailored for integrating with applications like Odoo, enabling server-to-server file uploads. This document is based on the original guide by Digital Inspiration, with rephrased steps to ensure clarity and avoid plagiarism.
1. Create a Google Cloud Project
Visit the Google Cloud Console: https://console.cloud.google.com/
Click on the project dropdown at the top and select 'New Project'.
Provide a name for your project and click 'Create'.
Wait for the project to be initialized.
2. Enable Google APIs
In the dashboard of your newly created project, click on 'APIs & Services' > 'Library'.
Search for 'Google Drive API'.
Click on it and then click 'Enable'.
3. Create a Service Account
Navigate to 'APIs & Services' > 'Credentials'.
Click on 'Create Credentials' and choose 'Service Account'.
3a. Describe the Service Account

In the list of service accounts, click on the newly created account.
Go to the 'Keys' tab.
Click 'Add Key' > 'Create New Key'.
Select 'JSON' as the key type and click 'Create'.
A JSON file will be downloaded—store this securely, as it contains sensitive credentials.
4. Share a Drive Folder
