Google Drive for Work Connector Requirements

Your environment must meet the following requirements to be able to use the Google Drive for Work connector:

• CES 7.0.5989+ (October 2013) [more]

• Coveo license for the Google Drive (Google Apps for Work) connector

  Your Coveo license must include support for the Google Drive for Work connector to be able to use this connector (see What Information Is Displayed in the License Page?).

• A valid Google Account

  Using a Google Account with administrator privilege, you must log in the Google API Console to authorize Coveo to access the Google Drive of your users (see Authorizing the Coveo Connector to Access Your Google Drive).

• Administrator credentials to your Google Apps account

  You must log in to your Google Apps account to modify security options and authorize Coveo to access your Google Apps for Work (see Authorizing the Coveo Connector to Access Your Google Apps for Work).

• Google Drive storage licenses for your Google Apps users

  In your Google Apps account, you must activate the Google Drive service (see Authorizing the Coveo Connector to Access Your Google Apps for Work).

• Coveo Master server free disk space for temporary files

  Before indexing your Google Drive, ensure that your Coveo Master server has sufficient free hard disk space to temporarily store indexed Google Drive content.

  Starting with the CES 7.0.6547 March 2014 monthly release, the Google Drive connector creates a BLOB store on the Coveo Master server ( [CES_Path]\Index\Crawlers\BlobStore or [CES_Path]\Index\Crawlers\BlobStore32) where shared downloaded documents with sizes greater than 100 KB are temporarily saved. This mechanism prevents downloading and re-indexing all copies of shared documents and allows to index metadata associated with each shared document copy.
