Frequently Asked Google Drive Driver Questions

Learn more about Google Drive drivers & connectors for data and analytics integration


The Google Drive driver acts like a bridge that facilitates communication between various applications and Google Drive, allowing the application to read data as if it were a relational database. The Google Drive driver abstracts the complexities of Google Drive APIs, authentication methods, and data types, making it simple for any application to connect to Google Drive data in real-time via standard SQL queries.

Working with a Google Drive Driver is different than connecting with Google Drive through other means. Google Drive API integrations require technical experience from a software developer or IT resources. Additionally, due to the constant evolution of APIs and services, once you build your integration you have to constantly maintain Google Drive integration code moving forward.

By comparison, our Google Drive Drivers offer codeless access to live Google Drive data for both technical and non-technical users alike. Any user can install our drivers and begin working with live Google Drive data from any client application. Because our drivers conform to standard data interfaces like ODBC, JDBC, ADO.NET etc. they offer a consistent, maintenance-free interface to Google Drive data. We manage all of the complexities of Google Drive integration within each driver and deploy updated drivers as systems evolve so your applications continue to run seamlessly.

Many organizations draw attention to their library of connectors. After all, data connectivity is a core capability needed for applications to maximize their business value. However, it is essential to understand exactly what you are getting when evaluating connectivity. Some vendors are happy to offer connectors that implement basic proof-of-concept level connectivity. These connectors may highlight the possibilities of working with Google Drive, but often only provide a fraction of capability. Finding real value from these connectors usually requires additional IT or development resources.

Unlike these POC-quality connectors, every CData Google Drive driver offers full-featured Google Drive data connectivity. The CData Google Drive drivers support extensive Google Drive integration, providing access to all of the Google Drive data and meta-data needed by enterprise integration or analytics projects. Each driver contains a powerful embedded SQL engine that offers applications easy and high-performance access to all Google Drive data. In addition, our drivers offer robust authentication and security capabilities, allowing users to connect securely across a wide range of enterprise configurations. Compare drivers and connectors to read more about some of the benefits of CData's driver connectivity.

With our drivers and connectors, every data source is essentially SQL-based. The CData Google Drive driver contains a full SQL-92 compliant engine that translates standard SQL queries into Google Drive API calls dynamically. Queries are parsed and optimized for each data source, pushing down as much of the request to Google Drive as possible. Any logic that can not be pushed to Google Drive is handled transparently client-side by the driver/connector engine. Ultimately, this means that Google Drive looks and acts exactly like a database to any client application or tool. Users can integrate live Google Drive connectivity with ANY software solution that can talk to a standard database.

The Google Drive drivers and connectors offer comprehensive access to Google Drive data. Our Google Drive driver exposes static and dynamic data and metadata, providing universal access to Google Drive data for any enterprise analytics or data mangement use. To explore the Google Drive driver data model, please review the edition-specific Google Drive driver documentation.

Using the CData Google Drive drivers and connectors, Google Drive can be easily integrated with almost any application. Any software or technology that can integrate with a database or connect with standards-based drivers like ODBC, JDBC, ADO.NET, etc., can use our drivers for live Google Drive data connectivity. Explore some of the more popular Google Drive data integrations online.

Google Drive Analytics is universally supported for BI and data science. In addition, CData provides native client connectors for popular analytics applications like Power BI, Tableau, and Excel that simplify Google Drive data integration. Additionally, native Python connectors are widely available for data science and data engineering projects that integrate seamlessly with popular tools like Pandas, SQLAlchemy, Dash, and Petl.
