Google Drive Setup

Configure your Google Drive account to work with MV Tools for seamless file management, transfer, sync, and backup capabilities.

Setup Instructions

1 Register Google Account

Go to https://www.google.com/ and sign up for a Google account if you don't already have one.

2 Create Project in Google Cloud Console

Visit https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/dashboard and sign in with your Google account credentials. Create a new project if you don't already have one.

3 Enable Google Drive API

In the Google Cloud Console, navigate to the APIs & Services section and enable the Google Drive API for your project.

4 Create OAuth 2.0 Credentials

In the APIs & Services section, go to Credentials and create a new OAuth 2.0 Client ID. Select "Web application" as the application type.

5 Configure Callback URL

In the OAuth client setup, add http://localhost:8080/api/drive/callback as an authorized redirect URI. This is where Google will redirect after authentication.

6 Save Credentials and Configure Software

After creating the OAuth client, you'll be provided with client ID and client secret information. Copy these values and enter them into the MV Tools software when prompted for Google Drive configuration.

Alternative: Use System App

If you find the above steps too complicated, you can use the "Use System App" feature within MV Tools. This option uses a pre-configured system application, which is easier to set up but may have more usage limitations since it's shared among multiple users.
