Overview of the Google Drive connector

How it works

The Google Drive connector indexes documents in your Drive. Currently, it supports:

Google Files

  • Docs
  • Sheets
  • Slides

Other Formats

  • Microsoft: Word, Excel, PowerPoint
  • PDF, CSV, and TXT files
  • Certain other document, plaintext, and image files

Setting up

Note: This Connector is relatively involved to set up.

Recommended

Service Account Setup

Setup the connector via Service Accounts. This does require a business Google Workspace / access to the Admin panel.

If you are an organization that meets these pre-requisites, then this is likely the preferred approach.

OAuth Setup

Setup the connector via individual account OAuth. This does not require a business Google Workspace.

Anyone can use this method, even without a paid Google Workspace.
