How to create and share Google Drive folders to use for localization

1. Open Google Drive and create a new folder that will be linked to the Workspace in Localization Hub.

Note: The Localization Hub Workspace is an instance that consolidates all translation projects from a single Content Management System. If you have multiple workspaces in the Localization Hub for one customer, consider creating a main folder for the customer first. Then, create subfolders within the customer's folder for each workspace and share them as per the guide below. The customer's folder mustn't be shared, only workspace ones.  

2. Open the API Key JSON file and find an email identifier in the client_email property. Copy the email (it is in bold in the Example below)

Example:

{

"type": "service_account",

"project_id": "xxx",

"private_key_id": "xxx",

"private_key": "xxx",

"client_email": "[e-mail]", "client_id": "xxx",

"auth_uri": "https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth",

"token_uri": "https://oauth2.googleapis.com/token",

"auth_provider_x509_cert_url": "https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v1/certs", "client_x509_cert_url": "https://www.googleapis.com/robot/v1/metadata/x509/demotest%40gdrive-integration-420506.iam.gserviceaccount.com",

"universe_domain": "googleapis.com" }

3. Get back to Google Drive. Click on the folder's dropdown and select Share in the main menu and Share in the submenu.

4. Paste the account email that you copied in the API Key JSON file. Set the Editor role and press Send.  

5. Create subfolders in the Workspace folder for each localization service you are going to provide, for example, Transaltion, Transaltion with proofreading, etc. 

Here is an example in Google Drive:

After you share the Workspace and Service folders with the API account, you'll see them in the configuration settings here:
