Google Drive Integration in Brighton

Integrating Google Drive into Brighton systems, where the authentication choice determines what the integration can reach. Acting as a signed-in user limits access to their files; acting as a service with organisation-wide delegation reaches everything — and the second is convenient, powerful and rarely what the requirement actually needs.

Why this comes up

The problem

The integration was given organisation-wide access because it was simpler, and it can now read every file in the company.

What you get

What we deliver

  • Authentication approach chosen against what the integration genuinely needs
  • Scopes limited to the narrowest that satisfy the requirement
  • Files referenced by identifier, since names and locations change freely
  • Shared drives used where content belongs to a team rather than a person
  • Ownership considered, because files owned by a leaver can be lost
  • Change notifications used rather than polling the account for modifications

Google Drive Integration in Brighton — common questions

When is delegated access appropriate?
When the integration acts on behalf of a person, which covers most cases. It limits reach to what that user can already see, which is both the least surprising behaviour and the one that fails safely if something goes wrong.
What about service accounts?
Suitable where the integration owns its own files or works within specific shared drives. Organisation-wide delegation is a much larger grant and should be justified by a requirement that genuinely spans everyone's content rather than by convenience.
Why do shared drives matter?
Because ownership survives departures. Files in a personal drive belong to that person and are affected when their account is removed, whereas content in a shared drive belongs to the organisation — which is where anything a business depends on should live.
How should changes be detected?
Through change notifications rather than repeated listing. Polling a large drive is slow and expensive in requests, and notifications tell you what changed — which for workflows reacting to uploads is both faster and considerably lighter.
Do you work with businesses across East Sussex?
Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout South East, including Brighton and the surrounding East Sussex area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
What kind of Brighton businesses do you usually work with?
Design-led briefs from a market that judges craft closely, plus hospitality and visitor systems for the local economy. Beyond that we work across Digital & Creative, Tourism & Hospitality, Higher Education and Retail.
Do you cover the areas around Brighton?
Yes — we work throughout South East, including London, Southampton. Brighton is an urban area of roughly 290,000+, and we take on work across the wider East Sussex region rather than the city boundary alone.
