The storage location of the reports

[Kazuhiro]

Where are the reports created in Looker Studio stored?
a) Are they stored in my Google account's Google Drive?
b) Are they stored in a storage service managed by Looker Studio?
c) Or somewhere else?

I didn't find any folders or files in Google Drive, so I think it might be b). However, internet search results suggest a), so which one is correct?

Hey Kazuhiro,

Most likely B. For access purposes, they can only be found in the storage service managed by Looker Studio. This comes from not being able to access it through either Google Drive search, nor Organization Content search through the Google Sites service.

However... Permission structures suggest that they are organized under Google Admin, and you are required to have a Google Cloud project to activate Looker Studio Pro. Therefore, while they are not stored on Google Drive, I believe they technically are accessible under Google Workspace. I will also mention that there is a Permissions API that is available, and that suggests that it was adapted from the Google Drive API.

Sincerely,

Dylan
