Creating Google Identity and Credentials for Programmatic Access to Google Drive
Google Drive is one of those cloud technologies that democratized cloud access to data storage. It lets you securely push all kinds of data into and out of the cloud via Google-provided APIs. APIs and documents are bound to permissions, roles, and identities. Programs accessing Google Docs require credentials, preferably least-privilege credentials, which exist just for a single program's needs. Google IAM supports Service Accounts that are not tied to any human. They can be enabled and disabled without impacting individual users.
