Connecting Google Drive to Docket enables seamless file synchronization, ensuring the latest content is always available for accurate answer generation. This guide outlines how to set up and manage the integration.

Prerequisites

Before starting the integration process, ensure the following prerequisites are met:

  • Admin-level access is required in Docket.

  • The connected Google Drive user must have access to all required files and folders.

  • Only one user can connect a Google Drive account at a time.
    We recommend using a non-user account such as [email protected].

Integration Setup

1. Navigate to the Integration Settings

  • Go to Settings in Docket and open the Integrations page.

  • Locate the Google Drive integration and click Connect.

2. Authorize Access

  • You will be redirected to Google to grant Docket permission to access your Drive.

  • Approve the OAuth access to complete authentication.

3. Select Folders or Files

  • Once authenticated, select one or more folders or files to ingest into Docket.

  • For Shared Drives, each folder must be selected individually due to Google limitations.

4. Initiate Syncing

  • After selection, Docket will begin syncing data automatically.

  • It will take 24 hours for files to be indexed and used for answer generation.

Important Notes

  • Disconnecting from Google Drive will permanently delete the ingested data from Docket, and it won't be used for future answer generation. Users should be cautioned accordingly.

  • Support file types

    • PDFs, Word, Excel, images, CSV, text files.

    • Native Google types: Docs, Sheets, Slides.
