Before you connect
- Google does not support Dynamic Client Registration (DCR) — each tenant must create its own OAuth client in Google Cloud Console.
- Use access_type=offline to receive a refresh token for long-lived access.
- The Google Drive API must be enabled on the same Google Cloud project as the OAuth client.
