Nice, so then I would have to connect once with the web server admin google account (my personal account) to the google one drive account (my super admins account). Store this in a db and use the tokens to keep doing what is needed. When it asks me the first time it would be in the web browser? Now for any other person randomly out in the world who connects to the site and uses the form script I create, they wouldnt have to log into my account (or any account), because I already did the one time login and the server now uses my emails saved credentials. If that is the case, then that is what I need. This way the client never knows that the server is using my google account to edit a google one drive doc of another email. To do all this can it be done in a .php file? Could you give me any / all links I would need to look at to get this going? I saw so many docs and got confused fast. Really sorry about my lack of knowledge in the subject, I did a lot of searching and still did not wrap my head around this.

I may be able to compromise and use google api so they are asked to log in. but I am concerned that they can access the file, apart from what the php code is doing. Like downloading the file, or injecting there own information or even becoming a collaborator. The file needs to be private as it is a list of peoples contact information. But from what you are saying, it sounds like a web server is not a loud to sign into an account even if it is the web server owners account. Which is a major bummer

Thank you for shedding some light on this situation. I think you understood my question well, thanks.

Hello, thanks for your reply. I am not sure what you mean by farming for answer, but I figured if I copy my post here perhaps I would reach people who would not other wise see it. I did not notice the copying method I used (selecting body text) was going to add extra stuff to it. Sorry bout that. Im not trying to collect any ones information though, I actually went the website to sign into my personal google account, to send information to another google account. It would be like having the web server log in, stay logged in. When any one sends form data the server uses that email to send the information. Nothing really to do with the client, besides the fact that they fill a form they want to submit. Was hoping that the web server could be seen as a 'client' server -> server. I don't want them to sign into any account personally, I dont need any of their information and I also dont want them to be connected to any of the google docs as they are supposed to be private files because they will be hosting a spreadsheet of peoples contact info. does there seem to be a way for me to do this?

-2down votefavorite I am trying to connect to google one drive on my website using php to upload submitted form information. Client side: User fills form, submits form, goes to success page. Website side: receives data, connects to one drive account using a predetermined user account, information is uploaded, user is redirected. I am trying to avoid the client being asked to sign in, or do be able to have any access to the google docs files or user. how would I do this? I saw a way to do it using Zend GData but from what I could tell you need to have access to a console. My host does not allow me to install anything. I have tried to connect using some api code, but the requests were done through url to connect the user to one drive with their google account. I have looked into this for the last 5 hours and just keep coming back confused. Could use some help because there is too much information for me to get a good footing on what I need to do. Some one linked me to http://hublog.hubmed.org/archives/001954.html but I am confused if the one time varification is of each web client, or if its of the owner of the one drive account who is allowing others to edit his file. So as a web admin i can varify, but no one else will know they are submiting there form to php and then to google drive file?
