talkspirit allows you to attach Google Drive files to your posts
You can ask us to enable this integration using our own Google Drive App.
If you own a Google Apps subscription you can also configure your own Google application. To do so, follow the steps:
Configure Google Drive
The Google Drive service requires you to configure a Google application. Here are the steps required to configure a Google application :
Log in to your Google account and go to https://console.developers.google.com/cloud-resource-manager
Create a new project
A notification informs you that the project has been created
Go to the project page and search for Google Drive API
Click on ENABLE
Once the API is activated, go to the Credentials tab
Click on the OAuth consent screen tab
Enter a product name (the name of your organization for example)
Click Save. You go back then to the Identifiers tab
Click on Create credentials > OAuth client ID
Choose Web Application
Give this a name (the name of your organization for example)
In Authorized Javascript origins and in Authorized redirect URIs, enter the URL of your organization (e.g. https://my-domain.talkspirit.com)
Click on the Create button
You will then receive the client ID needed to configure the file picker
Integrate Google Drive
Only an administrator can enable the Google Drive connector for their team.
To enable Google Drive:
Click the gear icon of the left-hand navigation menu
Click on the Files link
Click on the Configure button
Enter the client ID of the Google application you have configured
Click on the Enable button
When you post a comment or a message, a Google Drive icon will now be displayed allowing you to open the Google Drive file picker and choose files to be attached to your content.
