# Authorization Google Drive

 * Hi,
 * I was configuring UpdraftPlus with a client for Google Drive. We managed to get
   it to authenticate but the uploads always fail. I’ve checked the logs and noticed
   that ‘the API is not enabled for your project’ and then I see an URL which refers
   to the sub domain the website is installed on instead of the actual domain.
 * So the site is installed on a sub domain, e.g: mydomain.serverdomain.com but 
   uses the URL mydomain.com. Am I supposed to use the sub domain for the Google
   Drive authorization?

 * Hi,
 * In the Google Drive settings, UpdraftPlus will display the URL that needs to 
   be input into the Drive Project. Did you use this URL?

 * Yes, that’s the URL we used. I’m going to go through the process again tomorrow,
   I’ll let you know if that fixed it.
