Connect Google Drive.
Bring in files you choose from Google Drive and shared drives. ismee only ever sees the files you pick.
What is included #
This connector covers Google Drive and shared drives only. Gmail and Google Chat are not included.
How ismee's access works #
ismee uses Google's own file picker, and can only ever see the files you actually pick. It has no view of the rest of your Drive.
If you browse into a folder and pick nothing, ismee gets nothing, and picking a folder does not give ismee access to what is inside it. This is deliberate, and it is the narrowest access Google offers for this kind of feature.
Connecting #
- Go to Workspace settings and find the Google Workspace card.
- Choose Connect, sign in with your Google account and approve the read-only access.
- The card shows the status and a Disconnect option.
Choosing files #
In Knowledge admin → Add knowledge → Connected sources, choose Google Workspace, then Choose from Google Drive. Google's picker opens with tabs for My Drive, Shared with me and Shared drives. Select one or more files and confirm.
Google Docs, Sheets and Slides are converted automatically as they come in: Docs as Word, Sheets as Excel, Slides as text.
What happens next #
As with any other source, files arrive as drafts for you to review and approve. Nothing reaches your team until you approve it.
What ismee keeps #
The same as every other source. ismee extracts the text, drafts knowledge from it and discards the file. Your original files are never stored in ismee.
Disconnecting #
Disconnect removes ismee's stored access and revokes it at Google. Approved knowledge stays.
What to read next #
- Connecting Microsoft 365, the other connected source.
- Knowledge: limits and common questions.
