Connect a Google data source

This page describes how to create a data store for Google data sources, such as Cloud Storage or Google Drive.

Note: Google Workspace data sources, such as Google Drive, Gmail, Google Calendar, and Google Chat, require a Google Workspace organization account and a Customer ID. Personal Google Accounts (consumer accounts ending in @gmail.com) don't have a customer ID and aren't supported for data connectors.

To import data from a third-party data source, see Connect a third-party data source.

Troubleshoot data ingestion

If you're using customer-managed encryption keys and data import fails (with error message The caller does not have permission), then make sure that the CryptoKey Encrypter/Decrypter IAM role (roles/cloudkms.cryptoKeyEncrypterDecrypter) on the key has been granted to the Cloud Storage service agent. For more information, see Before you begin in "Customer-managed encryption keys".
