Google Drive Connector
The Google Drive connector imports selected files and folders into a Store. Selecting a folder includes its files and subfolders, while individual file selection lets you keep the import narrowly scoped.
Before you beginLink to section
You need a Google account that can access the Drive content you want to import and a Mixedbread organization with access to Data sources.
Connect Google DriveLink to section
In the Mixedbread Platform, open Data sources, select Create, and choose Google Drive.
Enter an optional Store name. Leave it blank to use google-drive- {your - account}.
Google Drive uses metadata contextualization with fast ingestion by default. Expand Store configuration only if you need different behavior.
Select Connect Google Drive, choose a Google account, and approve the requested access.
Browse Drive from the connector page. Select the files and folders to synchronize, then confirm the selection.
The first selection queues an import. Mixedbread keeps selected files and folders up to date as their contents change.
Selecting a folder synchronizes all files and subfolders inside it. Exclude a child item separately when it should not inherit the parent folder's synchronization state.
Manage the connectorLink to section
Open the Google Drive data source to browse folders, search the current folder, and review each item's status.
- Select Sync to import an excluded file or folder.
- Select Unsync to stop future updates for an item.
- Use Sync now to re-check selected files and folders for new or changed content.
- Use Disconnect to remove the saved Google credentials and stop receiving Drive changes.
Unsyncing or disconnecting does not delete previously imported Store files.
TroubleshootingLink to section
A file or folder is missingLink to section
Confirm that the connected Google account can open it. Shared Drive and shared folder content only appears when the account has access.
A nested item has the wrong statusLink to section
Check whether it inherits synchronization from a selected parent folder. You can explicitly exclude or reselect the child item.
Changes have not appearedLink to section
Run Sync now to re-check all selected files and folders. Review the item status for unsupported content or access errors.
