Display as | Enter the display name for the connection. If you will be creating multiple connections, ensure the name readily identifies the connection. The name displays in the application, and you can use it to search for the connection and filter lists. The maximum length is 255 characters. f you do not add a display name, the connection will automatically be named using the account owner's name. For example, Google Drive (John Doe).
