# Google Drive

> Google Drive is a built-in integration for Home Assistant. It has 15.3k installs sharing analytics and needs the vendor's cloud.

Google Drive is a built-in Home Assistant integration that reports storage and backup usage for a Google Drive account. It adds sensors for total size of backups, total available storage, used storage, used storage in Drive and used storage in Drive Trash. It connects through Google's cloud, so it needs internet access. Sign-in happens on the vendor's own page using application credentials, and setup is done in the UI. Connection settings can be changed later without removing the integration, and a diagnostics file can be downloaded for bug reports.
