Google Drive
Authorize Google Drive and select the drives whose documents will synchronize.
The Google Drive connector uses Google authorization. It lets members search documents from selected drives according to their Persyst grants.
Connect Google
- In Data sources → Add a source, choose Google Drive.
- Authorize the Google account with access to the required drives.
- Back in Persyst, open Drive and add drives to synchronize.
- In Access management, choose recipients and allowed tools.
Selection covers entire drives. Review their contents before opening them to a team: this flow does not select just a few individual files.
Distinguish shared drives from My Drive
My Drive is visible only to the person who connected Google. Use suitable shared drives for team sources. You can also prepare a personal connection from My connectors.
Check synchronization
Check synchronization status and progress on the source page. Initial indexing can be pending or running; creating a source does not mean all documents are already searchable.
Then ask: “Find the document in this drive that describes this rule and cite the passage used.”
To change scope, update the selected drives and review recipients. The connected Google account still needs permission to synchronize the content.
