h1. How to setup the Google Drive app with a service account key
*1.* Go to the "Google Developers Console":https://console.developers.google.com/project and create a new project or select an existing one. Click the project to edit the settings for that project.
*2.* Go to “API Manager” and enable the "Drive API"

*6.* Share the files in "drive.google.com":http://drive.google.com that you want the Google Drive app to read or edit with the email address specified in the service account. You can do this on a per-file basis or you can share an entire directory to avoid setting individual files.

Alternatively, you can manually setup the key via the file-system (see below at the bottom of the page for instructions).
h2. Manually configuring the key via file-system
*1.* Upload your service account key to the following path: +$SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/google_drive/service_account_keys+. You will have to create the "service_account_keys" directory if it doesn't exist.
This should result in a file in a location something like this: +/opt/splunk/etc/apps/google_drive/service_account_keys/myserviceaccountkey-837fa6bc1.json+
*2.* Create configuration telling the app to use your key
Go to your Splunk install and open the following path: +$SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/google_drive/local/inputs.conf+. You may have to create the "local" directory if it doesn't exist.
Populate this file with the following, substituting your service account key file accordingly:
<pre>
[google_spreadsheet]
disabled = 0
service_account_key_file = myserviceaccountkey-837fa6bc1.json
</pre>
This should result in a file in a location something like this: +/opt/splunk/etc/apps/google_drive/local/inputs.conf+
