Customers integrating Files Connect with Google Drive may face Google's new app verification process. This process necessitates moving their Google Cloud applications, specifically those created for Salesforce Files Connect integration, from a testing status to production.
Google Cloud applications remain in "Testing" status and require verification for production use
Google requires completion of a verification questionnaire with technical questions about DNS, network security, API usage, and trust boundaries
Customers receive requests from Google to verify their app before it can be used in production environments
Google has implemented stricter app verification requirements for applications using OAuth2 with sensitive or restricted scopes. When customers create Google Cloud applications to integrate Salesforce with Google Drive through Files Connect, these applications must undergo Google's verification process before they can be used in production.
The verification process requires organizations to complete a detailed questionnaire covering:
Network security configurations
DNS and domain verification
API usage patterns and data handling
Trust boundaries and access controls
Security compliance measures
The process is not specific to Salesforce but affects all applications integrating with Google services using OAuth2. This verification process is a Google requirement independent of Salesforce. While Salesforce can provide guidance on platform-specific questions, the majority of verification questions relate to your organization's specific implementation and security practices.
