Enabling Google Drive API from Google Admin Console

The Google Drive SDK API in the Google Workspace admin console allows third-party applications to work on files stored on Google Drive. This authorization is essential to help Securly access to Google Docs on the school’s Google Drive.

To enable the Drive SDK API:

Log in to admin.google.com
Navigate to Apps > Google Workspace > Drive and Docs > Features and Applications.
Scroll down to Drive SDK and click on the edit button.
Verify if the “Allow users to access Google Drive with the Drive SDK API” checkbox is selected. If not, select the checkbox for Drive SDK to enable access to files on Google Drive.
Click on ‘Save’ to save the settings.

Along with enabling Drive SDK API, it is also essential that you authorize access for Securly to the relevant school Google Drive data. This will allow Aware to begin scanning Google Docs for sentiment analysis or identify images with nudity on Google Drive. Without this access, your Aware setup would be incomplete.
