Working with TropicaliaConnectors

Google Drive

This connector enables AI agents and RAG systems to retrieve context from Google Drive through Tropicalia’s unified search layer.

Configuration

  2. Enter your Client ID and Client Secret when configuring the connection
  3. Complete the OAuth consent flow

This guide will walk you through connecting Google Workspace APIs to Tropicalia. Google provides extensive documentation on setting up your workspace. Below is a streamlined process for connecting Google APIs to Tropicalia.

  1. Create a Google Cloud project for your Google Workspace (if you don’t already have one)
  2. Enable the Google Drive API
  3. Configure Google OAuth 2.0 consent screen
  4. Under Audience, select Make external and add test users
  5. Under Data Access, add the following scopes:
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.photos.readonly
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.readonly
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.metadata
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.metadata.readonly
  1. Create OAuth client ID credentials
  2. Under “Authorized redirect URIs,” click ”+ Add URI” and add the Redirect URI. Use the URL below: 
    https://api.tropicalia.dev/source-connections/callback
  3. Locate the client ID and client secret from your newly created OAuth client. Add these credentials to the Google Drive connector page at Connectors.
