Integrations: Connecting Your Google Drive Account

This article provides instructions to connect your Google Drive account to Socialive. Integrating Google to Socialive allows you to send Socialive recordings directly to a folder in your Google Drive.


Prerequisites

To connect Google to Socialive, you need to:

  2. In the Settings menu, click Integrations.
  3. On the Integrations page, click Add Integration.
  4. Click Google Drive.
  5. Give the integration a name (or use the default one) and click Save. Giving each integration a specific title may be useful when creating integrations of the same type for different departments. For example “Send to Marketing Google Drive” versus the default “Send to Google Drive.”
  6. Click New Authentication.
  7. Enter a name for your new authentication and click Create.
  8. A pop-up window will appear. Sign in to your Google account and authenticate the connection to Socialive.

  11. If the desired folder does not appear in the drop-down list, you can enter the folder ID in the field. To find the folder ID, follow the steps below:
    1. In Google Drive, navigate to the desired folder.
    2. From the URL, copy the last part of the URL (for example, https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/<folderID>.
  12. Click Finish to complete the setup. Now you can send Socialive recordings to your Google Drive.
