Aurelie Bertrand 55.1 41 |**Shared with**|(((
42 In this field, we expect the email addresses of the people with whom the documents on this Google Drive server will be shared. These users will then receive a notification (by email) as soon as a new document is available on this server. These new documents will also be visible on their Google Drive account in the "Shared with me" section.

Aurelie Bertrand 55.1 52 A service account, even if you have created it, is not linked in any way to the Google Drive account of the Google Account you used to create it.
jhurst 1.1 53
Aurelie Bertrand 55.1 54 This service account is a Google Account in its own right and has its own Google Drive, Google Calendar, etc.
jhurst 1.1 55
Aurelie Bertrand 55.1 56 When you upload a document to a service account, it will land on the Google Drive of that service account and not on the Google Drive of the account you used to create it.

Aurelie Bertrand 55.1 60 **NB**: There is no web interface for a service account, which means that you will not be able to identify yourself and view what has been uploaded. This can only be done via a client that is capable of operating this service account, as offered by Digdash.
