Important note
After the project is built and published, open it in the web browser and proceed to any page of a table where cloud storage is used. You will be redirected to Google's site to log in.Log in under the account that should be used to store the files. Then the application will save the credentials, and no further login will be needed.
The credentials are saved in \templates_c\googledrive.php file. If you need to change the GoogleDrive configuration and start storing files under a different account, delete that file, then close all browser windows to clear the session. Open any page where cloud storage is used in the browser again and log in to Google using your new account.
