7-7: Verify the release versionThe release version '2025.2' seems unusually far in the future. Please verify if this is the intended version number.
18-18: LGTM! Clear and informative introduction.The introduction effectively explains the integration's purpose and basic functionality.
39-43: LGTM! Clear removal and troubleshooting instructions.The instructions for removing the integration and handling credential errors are clear and helpful.
22-24: Verify credential sharing with other Google integrationsPlease verify that the credentials are indeed shared with all listed integrations (Google Sheets, Nest, YouTube, and Google Mail).
✅ Verification successful
Let me check the credential configuration details in these integrations to verify the shared credentials claim.
Credential sharing statement is accurate with minor discrepancies
Based on the verification of all Google integration documentation files, the credential sharing statement is mostly accurate, but there are some minor inconsistencies in how different integrations reference each other. All integrations use the same OAuth setup through
google_client_secret.mdand the Application Credentials system. However:
- Google Drive correctly lists all integrations it shares credentials with (Sheets, Nest, YouTube, and Google Mail)
- Other integrations have slightly different lists but all confirm sharing credentials with each other
- All integrations consistently note that these are not the same as the Device Auth credentials previously used for Google Calendar
🏁 Scripts executed
The following scripts were executed for the analysis:
Script:
#!/bin/bash # Description: Check credential configuration in other Google integrations # Expected: Similar OAuth setup and credential requirements # Check other Google integration docs for credential setup rg -l "google_client_secret.md" "source/_integrations/"Length of output: 351
Script:
#!/bin/bash # Check the content of these files to verify credential sharing statements for file in $(rg -l "google_client_secret.md" "source/_integrations/"); do echo "=== $file ===" rg -A 3 "credential" "$file" doneLength of output: 9003

13-15: Update Google Console links to use the current domain.The Google Developer Console links should be updated to use the current
console.cloud.google.comdomain instead of the olderdevelopers.google.comdomain. Also, since both links are identical, consider consolidating them into a single variable.-google_dev_console_link: https://console.developers.google.com/start/api?id=drive -api: Google Drive API -api_link: https://console.developers.google.com/start/api?id=drive +google_dev_console_link: https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/library/drive.googleapis.com +api: Google Drive API
18-18: Enhance the introduction with backup functionality details.Consider adding information about automatic backup capabilities to make the integration's value proposition clearer to users.

When you set up a config entry, your drive will have a new folder called Home Assistant where all the backups will be stored. You can then rename this to whatever you like. +This integration allows you to connect your [Google Drive](https://drive.google.com) with Home Assistant Backups, enabling automatic backup storage in the cloud.

22-24: Add information about required Google Drive permissions.Consider adding details about the specific Google Drive API scopes/permissions that will be requested during setup. This helps users make informed decisions about security.
41-41: Fix typo in limitations section.There's a spelling error in the word "instances".
-Every time you add the integration, a new Home Assistant folder is created. This is intentional to allow multiple Home Assistant instaces to upload to the same Google Drive account. +Every time you add the integration, a new Home Assistant folder is created.
