MEDIA (Google Drive)

customertrax 6. Integrations

The media module integrates with Google drive for storage. If your company currently has a Google Drive Business account, we can use that, or we can setup an account for you.
 

With Google Drive Integration, there’s 2 ways to do it…
 

OPTION 1 – Public view only permissions
 

  • GDrive media folder can only be updated/modified by the Gmail account.
  • Handle uses the encrypted google token to authenticate as this user server side.
  • The READ-ONLY web link (unique per file) is available without any authentication.
  • Meaning you copy/paste it and access from anywhere and share it if you like.
  • The READ_ONLY web link is potentially accessible to anyone using web crawlers or scanners.
  • It’s unlikely but possible, an image or audio file web link could be found and accessed online.
     

OPTION 2 – Authenticated view only permissions
 

  • GDrive media folder can only be updated/modified by the Gmail account.
  • Handle uses the encrypted google token to authenticate as this user server side.
  • Specific permissions can be set and require authentication with Google every time the media web link is accessed.
