Importing Contracts from Google Drive Securely

ZeneSign's Google Drive integration makes document import seamless. Here's how to set it up securely.

Why Integrate Cloud Storage?

  • No downloading and re-uploading
  • Direct file access from your existing storage
  • Faster workflow
  • Centralized file management

Setting Up Google Drive

Step 1: Connect Your Account

  1. Navigate to Settings → Integrations
  2. Click "Connect Google Drive"
  3. Authorize ZeneSign (OAuth 2.0)

Step 2: Configure API Key

You'll need a Google API key for the Picker:

  1. Go to Google Cloud Console
  2. Create a new project
  3. Enable Google Picker API
  4. Generate API key
  5. Add it to ZeneSign settings

Step 3: Import Documents

When creating a new document:

  1. Click "Import from Cloud"
  2. Select Google Drive
  3. Browse your files
  4. Choose PDF or DOCX
  5. Import directly

Security Considerations

OAuth 2.0: We never see your password Limited Scope: Access only to files you select TLS Encryption: All transfers encrypted Revocable: Disconnect anytime from Google settings

What We Access

ZeneSign only requests permission to:

  • View files you explicitly select
  • Read selected file contents
  • No write access to your Drive
  • No access to other files

Common Issues

API Key Not Working? Ensure the Picker API is enabled in Google Cloud Console.

Can't See Files? Check OAuth consent screen settings and authorized domains.

Best Practices

  1. Use a dedicated Google account for business
  2. Review connected apps regularly
  3. Revoke access when no longer needed
  4. Keep API keys secure (never share)

Cloud integrations save time while maintaining enterprise security standards.
