# Google Drive ExpanDrive connects to Google's API and turns Drive into a fast network drive, making your entire account available from any app on your desktop. ExpanDrive uses a standard [OAuth flow](/security.md#understanding-oauth-2) to authenticate, so ExpanDrive has no access to your account credentials, only the authentication token returned by Google. ## Connection Parameters ### Nickname The nickname identifies this connection on your machine. This name is used as the volume label on the mounted drive. ### Account The account you used for authenticating is displayed. You cannot change this value. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
