# How do I connect Google Drive to Storage Studio?

Open **Cloud Accounts → Add Account**, choose **Google Drive**, type a nickname such as `personal-drive`, and click **Open browser to sign in**. Pick your Google account on Google's chooser, approve access, and the account appears in your list.

Google always shows its "Choose an account" screen, so you can pick the right account even if you're already signed in to another one in your browser. Once the green check appears, click **Done** — or **Add Another** to connect a second Google account.

If Google shows *"This app is blocked"*, see [that error](https://storagestudio.us/faq/cloud-accounts/this-app-is-blocked-google-drive).
