Automate data classification by integrating MineOS with Google Drive

How It Works

MineOS connects to your Google Workspace and scans the files in the drives shared with the integration user to detect the types of personal data they contain.

Note: This article covers data classification. Setting up Google Drive for privacy requests is covered in the Google Drive DSR integration article.

Before You Start

• You need access to the Google Workspace admin dashboard, with permission to set up third-party apps (Super Admin, Security Admin or a custom admin role).
• Create an integration user and share all relevant Google groups and drives with it. What you share defines the scope of the scan; files outside it can't be scanned.
• If your organization enforces a session timeout for Google Cloud scopes, mark the MineOS app as trusted and exempt trusted apps from session timeout. Otherwise the integration expires and has to be reconnected.
• [Optional] Enable Preview mode to view sample PII values alongside classification results. You must enable Preview mode before running the scan.

Setting Up

Step 1: Allow the MineOS app in Google Workspace

1. Log in to the Google Workspace Admin dashboard at admin.google.com.
2. Click Security → Access and data control → API Controls.
3. Under App access control, click Manage third-party app access, then Configure new app.
4. Search for 476692529048-d6el4g4n125gh4ucd2r7voo5k5i2eok6.apps.googleusercontent.com and select MineOS Radar.
5. Choose the OAuth Client ID and click Select.
6. Select the organizational units to enable and click Continue. We recommend the entire organization for the widest coverage.
7. Select Trusted, click Continue, review the settings and click Finish.

For more information, see Google's article on controlling which third-party and internal apps access Google Workspace data.

Step 2: Connect in MineOS

1. Log in to MineOS. On the left sidebar, click Inventory → Data Sources. Click Add Data Source, search for Google Drive and click Add.
2. Open the Google Drive data source → Integrations tab → Request Handling section → select Integration.
3. Mark the Scan this source using Data Classifier checkbox.
4. Click Connect and follow the on-screen instructions to grant the required permissions.
5. Click Save.

You're done! MineOS has been connected to your Google Drive. Click Start Scan in the Data Classifier panel to start the scan.
