Administrators can create a Drive that connects to a Google Drive storage location. This allows you to attach assets to fields in EBX® while managing their storage outside of EBX®. Most add-on features are available when using this type of Drive. However, some metadata such as labels, descriptions, and tags can be added in EBX® but are not propagated to Google Drive.
Setup requires updating EBX® configuration properties in addition to add-on configuration tasks. The following section provides the steps to complete these tasks.
Some steps require access to the server where EBX® is running and others require administrative access to add-on configuration settings.
To configure a Drive to use a Google Drive connector:
Point to your Google Drive credentials file location by adding the following property to your ebx.properties file: ebx.addon.dama.google.credentials.file=<path _to_json_file>.
You might be required to stop and restart your server to complete this step.
From the Administration panel, select: TIBCO EBX® Digital Asset Manager Add-on > Drive > Drive.
Create a new record.
After adding a label and description, use the Connector menu to select Google Drive.
Fill in the required fields. If you have questions about one of the properties, hover your mouse over it and select the '?' to view its tooltip.
After saving and closing, you must create a D.A.C. to connect the Drive to a data model field.
