Change to Google Drive: Will this impact the Dataiku Google Drive Plugins?

tgb417

All,

I just received a notice from Google that they are change the way that Google Drive by API works. (See below for the note.). I'm wondering if this change is going to impact the way that any of the Google Plugins work. And if we think thatit will make a difference. What type of changes are folks considering to make.

It does sound like this will only impact "New Accounts". So maybe creating any accounts you think you will need prior to April 15th might be a good idea.

We're writing to inform you about upcoming changes to how Google Cloud Identity and 
Access Management (IAM) service accounts interact with Google Workspace Storage. You 
are receiving this message because your organization may have used these accounts with 
Workspace APIs or Workspace Storage.

Previously, Google Cloud IAM service accounts had access to 15 GB of Google Workspace 
Storage. However, because they aren't directly managed by administrators, any new 
service accounts created after April 15, 2025, won't receive this storage. Existing 
service accounts created before this date will retain their storage.

We’ve provided additional information below to guide you through this change.

What you need to know

Starting April 15, 2025 for new Service Accounts:

New service accounts will not be able to own any Drive items.
At this time, Google Workspace will maintain access to the My Drive of pre-existing 
service accounts to allow customers to keep existing internal workflows and services 
that rely on this storage without needing to migrate to other methods for automatic 
item creation.
Note: Items directly owned by service accounts do not adhere to the Google Workspace 
admin settings and policies since service accounts are not managed users within your 
Google Workspace domain.


What you need to do

We recommend that you migrate workflows and services using the Drive storage of 
existing service accounts for governance and security purposes.

To be able to upload items to Drive with service accounts created after April 15, 2025:

Upload items to Shared Drives
Set up OAuth consent to upload items on behalf of a human user
Use impersonation via domain wide delegation
We’re here to help

We understand that making this change may require some planning. If you have any 
questions or require assistance navigating this change, please feel free to contact 
Google Workspace support or review the Workspace Help Center.


Thanks for choosing Google Cloud.
