Introduction
Push files to Google Drive using a Service Account both as Base64 or File Type. The easiest way to allow your app to move data on its own.
NOTE: This is the JSON WEB Token authentication version, users will access the Service Account Google Drive.
For the information on how to obtain Service Account Keys for a Service Acc. Plugin, please read here: https://docs.zeroqode.com/obtaining-google-service-account-keys
All pushed files are stored in Google Service account and can be retrieved only through the API (for instance- Get Files). The files are NOT stored in Google Drive itself.
TIP: Service accounts, types of service accounts, and the IAM roles that are available to service accounts please find here: https://cloud.google.com/iam/docs/service-accounts
