Google Drive Knowledge Base

Set up Google Drive as a data source for your knowledge base using OAuth2 credentials.

Prerequisites

• A Google account with access to the Google Drive files/folders you want to include
• An assistant with Knowledge Base configuration access

Setup Steps

1. Navigate to your assistant's Knowledge Base configuration
2. Add a new data source and select "Google Drive"
3. Click "Create Credential" or select an existing Google OAuth credential
4. Authenticate with Google and grant necessary permissions
5. Select the folders/files you want to include in your knowledge base

Credential Details

• Credential Type: OAuth2 Token
• Provider: Google
• Token Refresh: Automatic when expired (see Token Management for details)
• Scope: Can be Personal (USER) or Organization (COMPANY) - see Personal vs Organization Scopes Comparison for guidance

Notes

• Google Drive credentials automatically refresh when expired, ensuring continuous access without user intervention
• The credential is linked to both the knowledge base data source and the agent that uses the knowledge base
• You can reuse the same Google Drive credential across multiple knowledge bases if needed
