Google Drive

Overview

For your own Google Drive app you need OAuth 2.0 credentials (Client ID and Client Secret) from Google Cloud Console. In BAP, choose "Use my own app" and enter them.

Steps

1. Create OAuth credentials — Follow the detailed Google Drive Setup guide. You’ll create a project, enable the Drive API, configure the OAuth consent screen, and create an OAuth client ID (Web application). Set the authorized redirect URI to your BAP OAuth callback (e.g. https://your-domain.com/api/storages/oauth/callback).
2. In BAP — Select Google Drive, choose "Use my own app", and enter Client ID and Client Secret.
3. Save & Connect — Click "Save & Connect" to open Google’s sign-in and grant access; then pick a folder for will documents.

AWS S3

Overview

For S3 (or S3-compatible storage like MinIO or DigitalOcean Spaces) you need an access key and secret, plus bucket name and region. No OAuth — enter credentials directly in BAP.

Steps

1. Create IAM user and bucket — Follow the S3 Setup guide. Create an IAM user with S3 permissions, create a bucket, and note the Access Key ID, Secret Access Key, region, and bucket name. For S3-compatible providers, note the custom endpoint URL if required.
2. In BAP — Select Amazon S3 / S3-Compatible. Enter Access Key ID, Secret Access Key, Region, and Bucket Name. If using MinIO, DigitalOcean Spaces, etc., fill Custom Endpoint.
3. Save — Click "Save & Connect" to verify and save.

FTP/SFTP

Overview

For FTP or SFTP you need the server host, port, username, password, and optionally an SSH private key (for SFTP). BAP connects directly; no OAuth.

Steps

1. Prepare the server — Ensure your FTP or SFTP server is reachable and you have a user account. For SFTP with key auth, generate a key pair and add the public key to the server.
2. In BAP — Select the storage type that uses FTP/SFTP (if offered in your deployment). Enter Host, Port (e.g. 21 for FTP, 22 for SFTP), Username, Password, and target Path. For SFTP with key authentication, paste the SSH private key if the form supports it.
3. Save — Click "Save" and test the connection if available.
