Using your own Google App is optional. For an easy setup you can just use the default App of the plugin itself.  The advantage of using your own app is limited, but you can for example see some usage statistics and if you are using SSL it is also safer to use your own Google App.


To create your own Google App complete these steps:

  1. Go to the Google Developers Console
  2. Create a project
  3. In the sidebar on the left, select APIs & auth -> APIs, 
  4. In the displayed list of available APIs, find the Drive API and URL Shortener. Click on both APIs and press enable API
  5. In the sidebar on the left, select Credentials
  6. Select OAuth consent screen on top
  7. Insert at least your Product Name and select an email address (don't forget it, or you will get an 'Invalid Client' error)
  8. Go back to the tab Credentials
  9. Click on New credentials -> OAuth client ID. Select Web application
  10. Enter a name (can be everything, and doesn't really matter) and add to Authorized redirect URI: http://www.yourgrowdlysite.com/use-your-drive/index.php


  11. Insert the Client id and Client secret on the Plugin settings page, save the settings and Authorize the Plugin
