How do I connect to Google Drive data in Klipfolio?
When you connect your Google Drive data to Klipfolio, you will be prompted to connect your Google Drive account by entering your username and password.
Doing so creates a connection that enables Klipfolio to securely access your Google Drive account. By default, your connection name looks like this: yourname@Google<date and time created>. You can modify the default connection name when you create a new connection or from your list of connections, accessed by clicking your Account Name (located at the bottom of the left navigation sidebar) and selecting Account > Connected Accounts or by clicking the 
button in the left navigation sidebar and selecting Connections.
You can use and reuse the same account connection every time you connect to Google Drive. If you have trouble accessing an existing connection, your OAuth token may have expired. Go here for troubleshooting tips.
