Google Drive

Connect your Google account, then choose the files you want to use in 8rney. Files are linked to the workspace where you select them.

Connect and select files#

1. Open Library → Linked drives in the workspace you want to use.
2. Click Connect Google Drive and approve the requested access.
3. Click Select files to open Google's file picker.
4. Choose up to 25 documents per selection. 8rney fetches and indexes the selected files.

Connecting your account alone does not grant 8rney access to every file. The picker lets you choose which files to share. If you do not see a document in the linked-file list, use Select files to grant access to it.

You can also choose Drive files from the Research composer's attachment menu. Indexed files are available through @ mentions. A file that needs attention displays its processing error in the linked-file list.

Refresh selected files#

Click Sync changes in Library → Linked drives to fetch the current content of files you have selected. Folder-level and whole-Drive sync are not available.

Disconnect#

Click Disconnect in the Google Drive connection settings. This removes the connection and its cached Drive content for that workspace. Files uploaded directly to the Library remain available.

Troubleshooting#

• No files appear: click Select files, choose documents in Google's picker, and wait for indexing.
• Reconnect requested: connect the account again, then retry file selection or syncing.
• Picker unavailable: the deployment needs a configured Google Picker API key and application ID. Contact your workspace administrator.
• A file needs attention: review the error beside the file and retry Sync changes after resolving it.
