Google Drive integration
Google Drive, read and answered.
Pick the folders and files the agent may read. Docs, Sheets, Slides, PDF, DOCX, Markdown and plain text all become answers, with the file named as the source.
Google Drive, once it is connected.
- Reads Google Docs, Sheets and Slides natively, plus PDF, DOCX, Markdown and plain text files stored in the same folders.
- Follows the folder you selected, so a new document dropped into it is picked up on the next sync without anyone re-uploading anything.
- Cites the file it answered from, which makes a wrong answer a documentation bug you can go and fix.
- Reads only what you shared. Access is scoped to the folders and files you select at connect time.
Included from Starter and up.
How you connect it.
All of it happens in the dashboard. No middleware, no export, nothing to schedule yourself.
Open Data sources in the dashboard and choose Google Drive.
Sign in with Google and grant read access to the files you want indexed.
Select folders or individual files, then start the first sync.
Check the coverage report the setup pipeline produces and fill the gaps it names.
Questions people ask about Google Drive.
Which file types are supported?
Google Docs, Sheets and Slides, plus PDF, DOCX, Markdown and plain text. Images inside a document are not read as text.
Is the access read-only?
Yes. The connector only reads the files you selected. It never writes, moves or deletes anything in your Drive.
What about a shared drive?
A shared drive works the same way as a personal one. Elennai can only see what the connecting account can see, so scope the account to the folders you are happy to have answered.
How do I stop a document from being used?
Remove it from the selection or revoke access. Its content leaves the index at the next sync and the agent stops answering from it.
