By connecting Google Drive, the files and folders you choose, one by one, sync with your agent’s knowledge base (Manual 21 · Knowledge base) — the agent uses them exactly like a document you’d uploaded by hand, with the “Search documents” tool it already uses today.
This integration is different from the others in two ways:
- It doesn’t add any new tool to the agent: no need, because the agent already knows how to search documents — Drive only changes where some of those documents come from.
- Two panel actions (section 5) — “Upload file” and “Create folder” — exist in the catalog but are genuinely inactive today, not just switched off: they need an additional Google permission your provider hasn’t activated yet. This guide explains it honestly in section 5, it doesn’t hide it.
