Connecting a Google mail address

*updated information*

Depending on what type of instance you have, you may have to set up an API for the Google Integration. See: https://canwork.cloud/canwork-cloud-docs/canwork-cloud-admin/google-integration-to-nextcloud-api/

*Below is old information, we are updating our docs to see if you can still use this method* Google is no longer using App Passwords, so this method is decrepit.

To connect a gmail account, you need to first set up 2FA on your gmail account.

Then, you’ll need to create an app password in your Google email account.

Go here: https://myaccount.google.com/apppasswords

Google says:

Create & use App Passwords

If you’ve set up 2-Step Verification but can’t find the option to add an app password, it might be because:

• Your Google Account has 2-Step Verification set up only for security keys.
• You’re logged into a work, school, or another organization account.
• Your Google Account has Advanced Protection.

Tip: Usually, you’ll need to enter an app password once per app or device.
