Important Requirements:

Instructions

This are step-by-step instructions on how to get the plugin working on any Bubble App.
Note: User's database **needs** to have a access_token, refresh_token, and token_expire_date fields (can be named differently but keep them in mind when doing actions). 

  1. Add this plugin to your application.
  2. Go to https://console.cloud.google.com/ (create an account if you don't have one).
  3. Navigate to APIs & Services then click in the Credentials section in the left menu.
  4. Click create credential, Oauth Client ID
    1. Application Type: Web
    2. Authorized JavaScript origins: https://bubble.io
    3. Authorized redirect URIs: The Redirect URL your app has. Most likely will be the same where login action occurs.
    4. Save the new Client ID
  5. Copy Client ID & Client Secret.
  6. In the Bubble plugin page, place your Client ID & Client Secret (remember to check the checkbox of generic redirect URL).
  7. Add the 'Google Drive' Element into your Editor (you can set the redirect uri dynamically to 'This url').
  8. Use button to create a Google Sign In Button and on click add the action 'Oauth Log In' from the Google Drive element.
  9. Create a Workflow Event callled 'Google Drive has a valid response'.
  10. Create action 'Create account for someone else' using Google Drive's exposed states to fill up your User fields. (check the box 'Return the user if the account already exists').
  11. Add action 'Assing temp password to user' with the user from Step 1 in the Workflow.
  12. Add action 'Log the user in' with steps 1 and 2 from the Workflow.
  13. Finally add another Event 'When User is logged in' and set the condition when 'Current User's token_expire_date < Current date/time'. 
  14. Add the action 'Refresh Access Token' and set the Current User's refresh_token value. 
  15. Lastly add the action 'Make changes to current user' and update Current user's access_token and token_expire_date with the result from previous step.

I used the demo editor to learn how the actions from the plugin work. It works fantastic I can upload files to Google Drive, list them, list folders and get everything from those files into my bubble app. Works great.
Great plug and great support

This is the best google drive plugin I have found. It is a very versatile plugin that can be used in many situations. And the support is great - there was one thing I couldn't figure out, so I emailed the developer and had an answer the same day. 5 stars from me.
