Google Drive Integration

Use Google Drive integration to let Dawn discover drives, browse folders, read text files, and search document content.

Google Drive can be connected two ways. A workspace owner or manager can connect it as a shared source from the workspace Integrations screen and assign the drives to specific agents. An individual user can also connect their own Google Drive as a personal connection under account settings → My connections, where it stays scoped to that user. Use the workspace path for drives the whole team should reach, and the personal path for your own drive.

Before you start

• A Google account with access to the drives Dawn should use.
• For a workspace connection, the Manager role, which is required to create it.

Google Drive connects through Google sign-in. There is no manual token to manage.

Connecting Google Drive

• Shared workspace source: open the workspace Integrations screen, add a Google Drive connection, complete Google sign-in, then discover and link the drives you want and assign them to the agents that should use them.
• Personal connection: open account settings → My connections, add Google Drive, and complete Google sign-in.

What Dawn discovers

Dawn discovers My Drive plus any shared drives visible to the authenticated Google account. Each discovered drive becomes one repository-style source in Dawn.

The runtime is text-focused for reading. It can browse folders, read text files, and search text content, but binary files are not supported. Connected as a personal connection, Dawn can also create, update, and share files in your drive when you have granted those permissions.

Troubleshooting

• Sign-in fails or is cancelled: start the connection again and approve the Google permissions Dawn requests.
• No drives appear: the signed-in Google account likely does not have access to shared drives, or the wrong account was used.
• File read fails on a binary document: the runtime only supports text files for reading.
