Troubleshooting the Google Workspace connection

This article explains how to resolve connection issues when adding Google Workspace to ProBackup.

Step 1: Verify the app installation

Before authorising the connection, make sure the ProBackup app is correctly installed in your Google Workspace.

  • Sign in to Google Workspace as the super admin.

  • Check the button next to the app title:

    • If it says "Install", the app is not yet installed. Click "Install" and grant all requested permissions.

    • If it says "Uninstall", the app is already installed.

Once installed, return to ProBackup and try adding Google Workspace as a new backup.

Step 2: Send connection details to support

If the app is installed but the connection still fails, our support team will need your domain-wide delegation settings to investigate.

  • Go to your Google Admin Console.

  • Navigate to Security > Access and data control > API controls.

  • Scroll down and click "Manage Domain-wide Delegation".

  • Click "View Details".

  • Take a screenshot of the delegation settings.

  • Send the screenshot to [email protected].
