Based on the original work by Samy Nastuzzi, completely rewritten and optimized for Nextcloud 34 by el-choco.

Files External Google Drive (Nextcloud App)

Native Google Drive external storage support for Nextcloud. Fully refactored and optimized for Nextcloud 33 & 34.

🚀 Key Features & Updates

• Nextcloud 34 Ready: Includes a custom DirWrapper implementation to seamlessly replace the deprecated and removed OC\Files\Stream\Dir class.
• Automated OAuth2 Flow: No more manual token copying! Generates and injects the token directly within the Nextcloud UI.
• Strict CSP & COOP Bypass: Fully compatible with modern browser security policies (like Microsoft Edge) and Nextcloud's strict Content Security Policy.

🛠️ Installation

First of all, you need to enable the official files_external app in Nextcloud.

From Git

• Clone the repository into your custom apps folder: git clone https://github.com/el-choco/files_external_gdrive_v2.git
• Set the correct permissions (e.g., chown -R 33:33 files_external_gdrive_v2).
• Enable the app via OCC: php occ app:enable files_external_gdrive_v2

⚙️ Usage

Google Configuration

In order to use the app, you need to create an OAuth2 client via the Google Cloud Console.

Complete all needed information:

• App name: (e.g., "Nextcloud" so you remember what it is used for)
• Authorized JavaScript origins: Your Nextcloud domain.
• Authorized redirect URIs: Important! Must exactly match your Nextcloud callback URL (e.g., https://your-domain.com/apps/files_external_gdrive_v2/callback).

On Nextcloud

1. Go to Admin Settings -> External Storage.
2. Select Google Drive from the dropdown menu.
3. Enter your Google Client ID and Client Secret.
4. Click the new "🔑 Connect with Google & Get Token" button.
5. Authorize the app in the Google popup window.
6. Once the popup closes automatically and the button turns green ("✅ Success! Please click Create!"), click the checkmark to save and mount your drive.
