I would like the user to be able to only see and download files from their google drive. Is this achievable?

For more fine-grained control, you can specify `connection_scope` in the /authorize request your app sends to start the authorization.

Looking at [Google API’s scopes](https://developers.google.com/identity/protocols/oauth2/scopes#docs) it would be:

```auto
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.readonly

```

Please do not forget to URL encode the value and let us know if that worked for you!
