description: Guide to configuring Google Drive as a data source in LlamaCloud, including UI, API, client setup, and service account configuration.
---

Load data from Google Drive.

Make sure to setup the [Google Drive API](https://support.google.com/googleapi/answer/6158841?hl=en) before using this data source.

This setup involves creating a Service Account and configuring domain-wide delegation to allow the service account to access files within the Google Workspace team.

To create a service account key, follow these [instructions](https://developers.google.com/workspace/guides/create-credentials#service-account).

The service account must be granted access to files according to the following [instructions](https://support.google.com/a/answer/162106) (preferred), or through sharing the folders / files with the service account

## Configure via UI
