Rank Ranger requires access to view and manage files in your Google Drive in order to complete this integration. This involves the creation of folders that contain Rank data files and any files you upload to Link Manager (more information about this use can be found in the Rank Data and Link Manager sections in this document).

Name the Connection

Rank Ranger default is to name the connection based on the type (e.g., Google Drive) followed by the account name. You have the option to change that connection name during creation by entering the desired name in the Connection Name field and clicking the Update button. The name can also be edited later (refer to instructions in Authorize Connections).
