# Google Drive Assets

**Applies to:** Customer's Canvas On-Premises; Design Editor 6.15.0, 6.x (may differ) · **Archived documentation**
 
Customer's Canvas allows your users to browse images from either your corporate or personal Google Drive account and use these images in user designs.
 
You can download **Apps for Google Drive integration** on the [My Account↗](https://customerscanvas.com/account/licenses) page. If you don't have a Customer's Canvas license, [contact our support team↗](https://customerscanvas.com/account/cases).
 
This package contains two applications: **Google Drive token generator** and **Google Drive web service**. The first application contains an authentication token generator for [user accounts](https://customerscanvas.com/docs/cc6/google-drive-user-account.htm.md), while **Google Drive web service** manages the [Google Drive APIs](https://customerscanvas.com/docs/cc6/gdrive-api-service.htm.md).
 
To enable Google Drive as an external source for Customer's Canvas, you need to:
 
1. Get a private key.
2. Get an access token.
3. Set up and run the [Google Drive web service](https://customerscanvas.com/docs/cc6/gdrive-api-service.htm.md).
4. Define an image source in the [Asset Manager](https://customerscanvas.com/docs/cc6/asset-manager.htm.md).

Depending on your Google Drive account type, you need either a client key for a **user** account or a private key for a **service** account to access images from the Customer's Canvas editor. After you have obtained the key, you need to get an access token. **Google Drive token generator** generates such tokens for **user** accounts. For **service** accounts, you need to call the [getToken](https://customerscanvas.com/docs/cc6/google-drive-service-account.htm.md) method of **Google Drive web service** to create tokens.
