The integration requests the drive.file scope. This permits access to files the application creates or that the user explicitly makes available to it, rather than unrestricted access to the user's entire Drive.
Research integration
Asset Bridge
Asset Bridge is a bounded software component used in internal R&D workflows to transfer and verify selected files between controlled execution environments and Google Drive.
Purpose
Scoped access for selected research files.
The integration is not a public SaaS product. It is used for controlled R&D workflows where an authorized user explicitly connects Google Drive.
Selected research assets can be uploaded, retrieved and checked so that controlled workflows can verify that transferred content is unchanged.
Asset Bridge is an experimental research integration and is not presented as a generally available commercial service.
Google user data is used only for the functions described here and in the privacy policy. No advertising or analytics use is made of Google user data.
OAuth transparency
Why Google authorization is requested
Authorization is requested only so an authorized user can allow Asset Bridge to create or work with selected files in Google Drive for the bounded R&D purpose above. Access can be revoked through the user's Google Account permissions.
