Where are the setup instructions to add a Google Drive account to Explorer for Google Storage using a service account? I fumbled around and setup everything I could see that I thought was relevant, but when I connect I don’t see anything on my Google Drive. There are lots of folders and files there.
All I found is https://www.msp360.com/resources/blog/explorer-for-google-storage-authenticate-google-drive-with-service-account/ which is pretty scant on details.
I think I need to correlate my Google project to my Drive.

If you have any issues, let us know.
I did all of those steps, but nothing shows up.
Since I was told that Google Drive is no longer supported in Cloudberry Explorer, I am looking elsewhere. I need a supported product.
Thanks so much for answering!
