How the connection works
NetMusic asks Google for read-only Drive access so you can browse, stream and download the files you choose. Google sign-in is an optional storage connection; it does not create a NetMusic account.
Connect Google Drive
NetMusic › Sources › + › Cloud Sources › Google Drive
- Open Add Source. Tap Sources, then tap the plus button beside Added Sources.
- Choose Google Drive. Scroll to Cloud Sources and tap Google Drive.
- Start authorization. On the Account Sign-In screen, tap Authorize Google Drive Access.
- Complete Google sign-in. Choose the Google account that stores your music and approve the displayed read-only access.
- Return to NetMusic. After authorization completes, browse Drive and select the music files or folders you want in the library.
- Let the library sync. NetMusic indexes the selected content so you can browse it by artist, album, song, genre or folder.
Play online or save offline
Tap a song to stream it from Google Drive. For travel or unreliable networks, open the song’s More Actions menu and tap Download, or enable offline mode for a playlist. Downloaded files stay inside NetMusic on the device.
Keep the library tidy
- Create a dedicated music folder in Drive before connecting if your Drive contains many unrelated files.
- Select only the folders you want indexed; you can add or edit paths later through the source’s Manage Folders action.
- Use standard audio metadata for title, artist, album and artwork so the local library stays organized.
- The same Google account cannot be added twice; use the existing source and edit its selected paths.
If sign-in or playback stops working
- Reopen the Google Drive source and reauthorize if NetMusic reports that sign-in expired.
- Confirm the file still exists and the signed-in account still has access.
- Check that the file uses a supported format. FLAC and DSD require NetMusic Pro.
- If a download is incomplete, keep NetMusic online until the download queue reports completion.
Privacy details
NetMusic requests the Google Drive read-only scope plus basic account identity needed to display the selected account and complete authorization. For the complete data-handling description, read the NetMusic Privacy Policy.
