Last updated 1 month ago

Overview

The Google Drive integration allows you to connect your Google Drive files and folders to Rememberizer, making your documents searchable through semantic search. This integration enables AI applications to reference your documents, presentations, spreadsheets, and other Google Drive content when answering your questions or providing insights.

Before You Begin

Before connecting Google Drive to Rememberizer, ensure you:

  • Have a Rememberizer account

  • Have a Google account with access to Google Drive

  • Understand which files and folders you want to make searchable

  • Consider organizing your files to make selection easier

  • Review any organizational policies about connecting Google Workspace to third-party services

Connection Process

Step 1: Access Knowledge Sources

  1. Sign in to your Rememberizer account

  2. Navigate to Personal > Your Knowledge tab, or visit

  3. You should see all available knowledge sources, including Google Drive

Step 2: Initiate Google Drive Connection

  1. Click the "Connect" button on the Google Drive knowledge source card

  2. You will be redirected to Google's sign-in page

  3. Select the Google account you want to connect (if you have multiple accounts)

Step 3: Grant Permissions

  1. Review the app verification information and click "Continue"

  1. Review the permission request to "See and download all your Google Drive files" and click "Continue"

Step 4: Return to Rememberizer

  1. After successful authorization, you'll be redirected back to Rememberizer

  2. The platform will display a connection confirmation

  3. A file selection panel will automatically open

Step 5: Select Files and Folders

  1. In the side panel, browse your Google Drive structure

  2. Select specific files or entire folders by checking the boxes

  3. Navigate through folders using the breadcrumb navigation

  4. Use the search function to find specific files or folders

  5. If the side panel does not appear, click the "Select" button next to your Google Drive connection

Step 6: Confirm Data Sharing Policy

  1. After selecting files, check the box to acknowledge Rememberizer's data sharing policy

  2. This confirms you understand that selected files may be accessible to AI applications you authorize

Step 7: Begin Processing

  1. Click "Add" to start the indexing process

  2. Rememberizer will begin downloading, processing, and embedding your files

  3. You'll see a progress indicator as files are processed

  4. Initial processing may take several minutes to hours depending on the volume and size of files

How Google Drive Data is Processed

When you connect Google Drive to Rememberizer, the following occurs:

  1. Authentication: Secure OAuth connection established with refresh token capability

  2. File Selection: Only your selected files and folders are accessed

  3. Content Extraction: Text is extracted from compatible file formats

  4. Content Processing:

    • Documents are chunked into appropriate segments

    • Vector embeddings are generated for each chunk

    • Metadata such as file name, path, and type is preserved

  5. Continuous Updates: Changed files are detected and reprocessed automatically

Supported File Types

The Google Drive integration supports various file formats, including:

Category
Supported Formats

Google Workspace

Docs, Sheets, Slides, Drawings

Microsoft Office

Word (.docx, .doc), Excel (.xlsx, .xls), PowerPoint (.pptx, .ppt)

Text Documents

.txt, .md, .rtf, .csv

PDF Documents

.pdf

Other Formats

.json, .xml, .html, and more

Large files over 50MB or heavily formatted documents may experience slower processing times.

Data Refresh and Synchronization

Rememberizer automatically keeps your Google Drive knowledge up to date:

  • Change Detection: Uses Google Drive's change tracking API to detect modifications

  • Update Schedule: Automatic synchronization occurs approximately every 4 hours

  • Selective Updates: Only changed files are reprocessed, not your entire Drive

  • Manual Refresh: Force an immediate update by clicking the "Refresh" icon next to your Google Drive connection

  • New Files in Selected Folders: If you select a folder, any new files added to that folder will be automatically detected and processed

Security and Privacy Considerations

The Google Drive integration includes several security measures:

  • OAuth Security: Industry-standard authorization with secure token management

  • Selective Access: Only processes files you explicitly select

  • Encrypted Storage: All document content is encrypted before storage

  • Read-Only Access: Cannot modify or delete your Google Drive files

  • Permission Revocation: You can revoke access at any time through Google account settings

  • Data Handling: Original files are processed locally and not stored permanently

Troubleshooting Common Issues

Authentication Problems

Problem: Unable to connect to Google Drive or "Access Denied" errors. Solutions:

  • Check if you're using the correct Google account

  • Try signing out of Google completely and signing back in

  • Verify you don't have browser extensions blocking third-party cookies

  • Check if your organization restricts Google Workspace connections

Missing Files or Folders

Problem: Some files or folders don't appear in the selection panel. Solutions:

  • Verify file sharing permissions (you must have access to the files)

  • Check if files are in the "Computers" backup section (not supported)

  • Try refreshing the file browser with the refresh button

  • For shared files, ensure you have at least Viewer access

Processing Errors

Problem: Files fail to process or show error status. Solutions:

  • Check if the file format is supported

  • Verify the file isn't corrupted or password-protected

  • For large files, allow more time for processing

  • Try reselecting the problematic files

Synchronization Issues

Problem: Updated Google Drive content isn't reflected in searches. Solutions:

  • Check when the last sync occurred (visible in the connection details)

  • Manually trigger a refresh of your Google Drive connection

  • Verify that the file was changed at least 4 hours ago (time for auto-sync)

  • Check if the file still exists in the original location

Limitations of Google Drive Integration

  • "Computers" Section: Files in the Google Drive "Computers" backup section cannot be accessed due to Google API restrictions

  • Shortcut Files: Google Drive shortcuts may not process correctly

  • Shared Drives: Some organization-specific restrictions may apply to Shared Drives

  • File Size: Very large files (>50MB) may process slowly or incompletely

  • Rate Limits: Google API rate limits may temporarily slow processing for large collections
