     • Important: Ensure you've added "http://localhost:3000/api/google/auth/callback" to the Authorized redirect URIs section. Your web.redirect_uris field in the credential file should include "http://localhost:3000/api/google/auth/callback".

   • googlecloud-service.json: Obtain this file when you create a service account in the Google Cloud Console (https://console.cloud.google.com/iam-admin/serviceaccounts).

2. Place the credential files:

   • Save googleoauth2-client.json into the this folder.
   • Save googlecloud-service.json into the this folder.

3. Set up your .env file:
