Google Drive | Glue Guide

This is phase one of our Google Drive integration. With this integration, Glue can access Google Drive links you share in chats just like file attachments. This allows Glue AI to analyze and summarize linked GDrive documents without having to change link permissions.

We have more planned for this integration, so stay tuned!

Setting up the Google Drive integration

Step 1: Add the Google Drive app to your workspace
See instructions for installing an app in your workspace.

Step 2: Authorize Google Drive
Each user will need to authorize access to their GDrive account once. You will be prompted to authorize the first time you paste a GDrive link into a message after the app has been added to your workspace.

• Paste a Google Drive link into any message in Glue.

• A prompt will appear asking you to authorize Glue to access Google Drive. Click Authorize.

• You will then be asked to sign in to Google to give Glue access. Choose which Google account you want to connect with Glue, and then click Continue.

• You will then see a screen that says what access Glue will have to your GDrive. Click Allow.

• You will see a confirmation message once GDrive is successfully connected.

• Once authorized, Glue AI can analyze and summarize linked documents.

You do not need to change link sharing permissions in order for Glue AI to access a shared GDrive link, but if you're sharing it with others on your team, make sure you update the link settings!

Important: Do not remove the link preview when sharing a Google Drive link. The preview is what allows Glue AI to reference the document as an attachment.

Current limitations of the integration

• You cannot search for Google Drive files directly within Glue.
• Glue AI cannot access your entire Google Drive—only the specific links shared in threads or groups you have access to.
• Glue AI cannot analyze a Google Drive file larger than 50MB in size. It will return an error message if the file is larger than the size limit.

Troubleshooting

• If our RAG is taking a while to index the document, you might see a message from Glue AI saying it's taking a while to analyze the attachment and to try again in a few minutes. Send another message in a few minutes and ask Glue AI to try again! You do not need to reattach the document.
