• This option is only available when you select “My Computer” (i.e. the local DS-Client computer).
Client ID for native application
(G Suite only)
Select this option to provide an “Other application-type” client ID (or native application client ID). DS-Client will use this client ID to access the Google account for which the client ID was generated. This option allows DS-Client to access only one Google account.
 
For details on prerequisites, see the Knowledge Base article in “Backup from the Cloud (G Suite)”.
Service account logon
