Load Google Drive documents into your vector store

Setup steps

1. 1

   Confirm the project destination

   Choose the target project, then open Settings → Embedding Model and Settings → Vector Store. Test both connections before adding documents so the sync has a valid destination.

   Checkpoint: Both provider connection tests succeed for the selected project.
2. 2

   Connect Google Drive

   Open Sources, add Google Drive, and complete Google OAuth. Authorize the account that already has access to the files; the connector can only browse content available to that Google account.

   Checkpoint: The Google Drive source appears as connected.
3. 3

   Browse My Drive or Shared Drives

   Open Browse, select My Drive or Shared Drives, and navigate to the folder you need. Select supported files to sync. Google Workspace files are exported to processable formats during extraction.

   Checkpoint: The selection contains only the files you intend to add to the project.
4. 4

   Sync and review document status

   Start the sync and open Documents. Confirm each file reaches synced status. Open a failed document to review the error before retrying; avoid assuming a partially processed batch is complete.

   Checkpoint: Every required file has a synced status and a current sync timestamp.
5. 5

   Test a query and optionally monitor a folder

   Use Playground to search for a distinctive sentence from one file. If new files should be discovered automatically, return to Sources and create a folder monitor for the relevant My Drive or Shared Drive folder.

   Checkpoint: The expected Drive document is returned, and any monitor points to the intended folder and project.
