# Google Workspace

### Introduction

Couchdrop can be connected to a Google Workspace by creating a service account, which Couchdrop can do for you automatically. Couchdrop works with both Personal Google Drive accounts and Google Workspace accounts.

{% hint style="info" %}
To connect to a personal Google Drive account, see [Google Drive](/connections/connect-storage/google-drive.md)
{% endhint %}

### Requirements

To connect to Google Workspace in Couchdrop you will need:

* A licensed Google Workspace Account
* A folder in Google Drive
* Access to an Admin User account in Google Workspace

### Configuration Steps

1. Log in to Couchdrop and add a new storage connection
2. Select **Google Workspace** from the list of available connections
3. Enter the email of an admin user and the domain of the Google Workspace Account you wish to connect to.
4. Click **Create Service Account.** Couchdrop will create a service account and generate a Client ID.

To proceed, you'll need to Delegate Domain Wide Authority to Couchdrop using the Admin Console. If you are unsure how to do this, see [Delegating Domain-Wide Authority in Google Workspace](/connections/connect-storage/google-workspace/delegating-domain-wide-authority-in-google-workspace.md)
{% endhint %}

5. After granting Domain Wide Authority, click Test Connection
6. Choose a user or subfolder in Google Drive from the folder selector to be used as the root in Couchdrop (Optional)
7. Click **Save Settings.**
