Google Drive Integration in Leeds
Integrating Google Drive into Leeds 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 Leeds — 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 West Yorkshire?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout Yorkshire & the Humber, including Leeds and the surrounding West Yorkshire area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Leeds businesses do you usually work with?
- Financial, legal and health clients dominate, so the work almost always carries compliance, audit and data-handling requirements from day one. Beyond that we work across Financial & Legal Services, Healthcare & Digital Health, Retail and Higher Education.
- Do you cover the areas around Leeds?
- Yes — we work throughout Yorkshire & the Humber, including Sheffield, Manchester, York, Newcastle. Leeds is an urban area of roughly 800,000+, and we take on work across the wider West Yorkshire region rather than the city boundary alone.
