## FAQs

### How do I integrate Google Drive API with my application?

Apideck provides a unified File Storage API that makes Google Drive integration simple. Sign up for free, enable Google Drive in your dashboard, and use our Vault component to let your users connect their Google Drive accounts. We handle OAuth authentication, token refresh, and data normalization automatically.

### What Google Drive data can I access through Apideck?

Our Google Drive integration supports 4+ data models including files, drives, folders, and upload sessions. You can perform read and write operations through our unified API, working with the same code structure across all file storage platforms.

### How does Google Drive authentication work with Apideck?

Apideck's Vault handles Google Drive authentication completely. Your users connect their Google Drive accounts through our secure, white-label UI. We manage OAuth tokens, automatic refresh, and credential storage, so you never have to implement Google Drive's auth flow yourself.

### How do I keep my app in sync with Google Drive?

While Google Drive has limited native webhook support, Apideck provides polling-based sync and virtual webhooks to keep your data current. Configure your sync frequency in the dashboard, and we'll handle fetching updates from Google Drive.

### Why use Apideck instead of Google Drive's direct API?

Using Apideck's unified API instead of Google Drive's direct API saves significant development time. You get normalized data models, automatic auth handling, and the same integration code works with 200+ other apps. When Google Drive updates their API, we handle the changes so your integration keeps working.

### How quickly can I build a Google Drive integration?

Most developers ship a working Google Drive integration within a day using Apideck. Sign up for a free trial (no credit card required), enable Google Drive, and make your first API call within minutes. Our SDKs for Node.js, Python, and other languages make implementation straightforward.
