Connect Google Drive to import data

You went through two scenarios in which you saw how data can be fetched. In the first scenario, you created a live connection to create a model on live data, while in the second one, you learned how to import data from remote systems. In this section, you will be guided to create a model using a cloud app called Google Drive. Google Drive is a file storage and synchronization service developed by Google. It allows users to store files in the cloud, synchronize files across devices, and share files. Here are the steps to use the data stored on Google Drive:

1. From the main menu, go to Create | Model.
2. On the choose how you'd like to start your model page, select Get data from an app.
3. From the available apps to your right, select Google Drive.
4. In the Import Model From Google Drive dialog, click on the Select Data button.
5. If you are not already logged into Google Drive, you will be prompted to log in.
6. Another dialog appears displaying a list of compatible files. Choose a file, and click on the Select button.
7. You are brought back to the Import Model From Google Drive dialog, where you have to enter a model name and an optional description.
8. After providing this information, click on the Import button. The import process will start, and after a while, you will see the Data Integration screen populated with the data from the selected Google Drive file.
