AI-powered search & RAG for Google Drive
Connect a shared drive or folder and DaRetriva indexes your Docs, Sheets, Slides and PDFs into a semantic knowledge base — so anyone on your team can search or ask questions across your Drive content, with answers cited back to the source file.
How Google Drive indexing works
Connect with OAuth
Authorize read-only access to the shared drives or folders you choose. Nothing outside that scope is ever read.
Automatic indexing
Files are chunked and embedded into a vector index as soon as they're synced — no manual export or upload needed.
Real-time or scheduled sync
Choose real-time sync (Business/Enterprise) or a daily schedule (Starter) to keep the index current as files change.
Search and ask questions
Use semantic search or chat with an AI agent — every answer links back to the exact Drive file and passage it came from.
Why teams use DaRetriva with Google Drive
No more digging through folders
Ask a question in plain language instead of guessing which Doc or Sheet has the answer.
Answers with citations
Every AI response links back to the source file, so your team can verify and open the original.
Combine with other sources
Search across Google Drive alongside Confluence, SharePoint, Slack and 15+ other connectors in one place.
BYOK and secure hosting
Bring your own OpenAI/Anthropic/Mistral keys and host on DaRetriva's secure European cloud, or your own environment via a Dedicated License.
Frequently asked questions
Which Google Drive file types does DaRetriva index?
Google Docs, Sheets, Slides, and uploaded PDF, DOCX, TXT and Markdown files stored in the drives or folders you connect.
Does DaRetriva get full access to my Google account?
No. The connector uses OAuth with read-only scope limited to the specific drives or folders you authorize — nothing else in your Google account is accessed.
How often does the Google Drive index update?
Business and Enterprise plans sync in real time as files change. Starter plans sync on a daily schedule.
Can I revoke Google Drive access later?
Yes — OAuth tokens are stored encrypted and can be revoked at any time from your DaRetriva dashboard.
