# Can I connect a Google Workspace (work or school) Google Drive?

Often yes, but Google increasingly restricts third-party apps for managed work and school accounts. If you see *"This app is blocked"*, either ask your administrator to allow the app, or use your own sign-in credentials if your organisation lets you create them.

Personal Google accounts usually connect with the built-in defaults — leave the custom fields blank. For managed accounts, the in-app guide under **Advanced — custom sign-in credentials** walks you through creating credentials; your administrator may need to approve them. Whatever you decide, respect your organisation's rules about copying work data. See [the blocked page](https://storagestudio.us/faq/cloud-accounts/this-app-is-blocked-google-drive).
