Introduction
Need to transfer files from your Bubble app to Google Drive? Our no-code plugin effortlessly pushes files (in Base64 format) from your Bubble app to Google Drive using a Service Account.
NOTE: To use this plugin, you’ll need to obtain API credentials with a Private Key for Google.
All transferred files are stored within the Google Service account and can only be accessed via the API (e.g., Get Files). The files are not directly stored in Google Drive itself.
How to setup
- Enable the Google Drive API
- Go to the Google Cloud Console.
- In the dashboard, enable the Google Drive API for the project you want to use.
- Create a Service Account
- In the Google Cloud Console, navigate to the Credentials section.
- Click on Create Credentials > Service Account.
- Fill in the required details and follow the setup steps.
- Once created, go to the Keys tab and generate a new JSON key file.
- Download and store this JSON file securely, as it contains the credentials needed to authenticate requests.
- Share Access with the Service Account
- In Google Drive, locate the files or folders you want to integrate with the plugin.
- Share access with the service account email (found in the JSON file). Make sure to grant the necessary permissions (read, write, etc.).
- Extract the Required Credentials from the JSON File
- The downloaded JSON file contains essential credentials for authentication.
- You will need the private_key and client_email from the file.
- Here’s an example JSON structure:
json{ ... "private_key": "-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----\nYOUR_PRIVATE_KEY\n-----END PRIVATE KEY-----\n", "client_email": "your-service-account@your-project-id.iam.gserviceaccount.com", ... }
- Add the JSON Credentials to Your Bubble Application
- In your Bubble editor, install the Google Drive Service Account plugin.
- Locate the Plugin Settings in Bubble.
- Enter the Service Account Email (
client_emailfrom JSON). - Copy and paste the Private Key (
private_keyfrom JSON), ensuring you include everything between: - The setup in Bubble should look similar to the following:
vb.net-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY----- (your key content) -----END PRIVATE KEY-----
