How it works

The Google Drive picker provides flexible selection options:
  • Drag to select: Click and drag to select multiple documents at once.
  • Multi-select: Use Cmd+Click (Mac) or Ctrl+Click (Windows) to select individual documents.
  • Browse folders: Navigate through your Drive folders to find the right content.
Import various Google Drive file types:
  • Google Docs
  • Google Sheets
  • Google Slides
  • PDFs
  • Text files
  • Other common document formats
Unlike other knowledge sources, Google Drive documents are imported individually and do not preserve folder hierarchy. Each document is imported as a standalone item in your knowledge base.
To maintain organization, consider organizing documents into separate knowledge folders that mirror your Google Drive structure.

​
Managing imported content

After import:
  • Archive documents to exclude them from agent responses.
  • Move documents between knowledge folders.
  • Delete documents that are no longer needed.

Auto-sync

When auto-sync is enabled, Google Drive content stays up-to-date:
  • Document edits and updates sync to your knowledge base.
  • Deleted documents are removed from your knowledge base.
  • New documents must be manually added through the import process.
