Deprecation of Google Drive and Google Sheets connections in Deluge

Hi there,

We hope you've been enjoying your experience with Deluge. We would like to inform you about important updates to the Google Drive and Google Sheets connections in Deluge.

Google has identified and notified us about sensitive scopes within these two connections. As a precautionary measure, we have decided to deprecate these connections.

How does this affect you?

We are anticipating that the Google Drive and Google Sheets services in Deluge will reach their end of life around August 15, 2024. All connections created using these two default services may stop working after this time.

Creating new connections is no longer possible, as these two have been removed from the Default Services under the Connections section. Existing connections will continue to work until the date mentioned above.

What you need to do

We strongly recommend our Custom Services, which allow integration with third-party cloud services not covered by our built-in connections under Default Services. You can still utilize Google Drive and Google Sheets functionalities by creating custom service connections with the relevant scopes tailored to specific use cases. Please note that you will need to manually update all instances of the affected connections with the new connection in all functions.

For more information on creating custom services, visit our Connections help doc.

We recently published a post with a step-by-step video on creating a Gmail integration using custom connectors. This resource could be highly beneficial for setting up your Drive and Sheets connections.

Further, if you are utilizing these connections within Extensions, then you'll need to update these Extensions with a custom connection to ensure uninterrupted functionality.

Removal of scopes in Google connection
On a related note, we'd like to inform you that some of the restricted scopes have also been removed from the Google connection. The affected scopes are as follows:

https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive

https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.metadata

https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.metadata.readonly

https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.readonly

UPDATE: Workaround for Google Workspace Users
Google Workspace users can continue using their existing connections by adding the Deluge client ID as a trusted application in the Admin Console. To proceed, please contact us at support@zohodeluge.com to obtain our client ID. Then, log in as an administrator to Google Workspace and complete the verification process to allowlist Deluge as a trusted app.

We understand that this change may require adjustments on your part, and we appreciate your cooperation and understanding. Please make the necessary updates to your connections before August 15, 2024 to avoid any potential disruptions.

Our goal is to make this transition as smooth and hassle-free as possible. Feel free to reach out to us if you need any assistance.

Sincerely,

The Zoho Deluge Team
