    1. Go to Site administration > Server > OAuth 2 services
    2. Click on the icon under "System account connected" column if there is a red X for Google.
  3. Go to 'Document converters' in the Site administration and enable the Google Drive converter.
  4. In the settings, select Google as the OAuth 2 service, then save changes.

A link is available to test the document conversion is working correctly. If you obtain a message saying that the system account is not linked, go to the OAuth 2 Google service settings and re-connect the Google service to the system account.
