# Google Drive

> Share a folder with Passionfruit and keep your documents in sync

#### Overview

Connect Google Drive by sharing a folder with Passionfruit, just like you would share it with a colleague. Your specifications, certificates, policies, and other documents are automatically pulled into your Knowledge Base and kept up to date. No downloading, re-uploading, or guessing whether you have the latest version.

Google Drive stays the source of truth. Passionfruit only sees the folders you share, and only with view access.

<Info>
  The Google Drive integration is available on request. Email
  `hello@passionfruit.earth` to get started.

#### Setup

<Steps>
  <Step title="Request the integration">
    Email `hello@passionfruit.earth`. We send you a custom email address, set
    up just for your company. This is the address you share your folders with.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Share your folders">
    In Google Drive, right-click the folder you want to include and select
    **Share**. Add your custom Passionfruit email address, set the role to **Viewer**, and
    click **Send**. Repeat for every folder in scope.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Let us know">
    Reply with the folders you shared. If you want, tell us which document
    types or subfolders to include or skip.
  </Step>

  <Step title="We sync">
    We run the first sync and let you know when your documents are available in
    your Knowledge Base. After that, new and changed files are picked up
    automatically.
  </Step>
</Steps>

#### What is synced

* The files inside the folders you share, including subfolders: PDF, Word (.docx, .doc), Excel (.xlsx, .xls), PowerPoint (.pptx, .ppt), and email (.eml, .msg)
* Metadata used for discovery and compliance: title, type, size, owner, modified and created dates, and folder path
* File content is processed for search and answer generation

Each document is linked to the right products, customers, and suppliers in Passionfruit.

#### Managing access

You stay in control through Google Drive's own sharing settings.

* **Add folders** by sharing them with your custom Passionfruit email address.
* **Stop syncing a folder** by removing Passionfruit from its sharing settings.
* **View-only.** Passionfruit never edits or deletes files in your Google Drive.

Once the integration is set up, you can see its status in **Settings → Integrations**.
