Getting Started with Google Shared Drives
Prerequisites
- A G Suite account
In order to use Google Team Drive with Boost.space Integrator, it is necessary to have a G Suite account. If you do not have one, you can create a G Suite account at gsuite.google.com/signup/basic/welcome.

In some cases, for modules that use sensitive or restricted scopes, you may encounter issues with the privacy policy not being properly configured. This is affecting users who have an active workspace (admin console). You can change those permissions as instructed below.
After you click the Continue button, Boost.space Integrator will redirect you to the Google website where you will be prompted to grant Boost.space Integrator access to your account.
