Use Google Drive as a knowledge source to help Ravenna AI answer questions based on your team’s documents, spreadsheets, and presentations.

​
Setup

1

When adding documents to a knowledge folder, choose Google Drive from the available sources.
Introduction
2

3

Select documents

Choose which documents to import using the Google Drive picker.

​
Document selection

The Google Drive picker provides flexible selection options:
  • Drag to select: Click and drag to select multiple documents at once
  • Multi-select: Use Cmd+Click (Mac) or Ctrl+Click (Windows) to select individual documents
  • Browse folders: Navigate through your Drive folders to find the right content

​
Supported file types

Ravenna can import various Google Drive file types:
  • Google Docs
  • Google Sheets
  • Google Slides
  • PDFs
  • Text files
  • Other common document formats

​
Important differences

Unlike other knowledge sources, Google Drive documents are imported individually and do not preserve folder hierarchy. Each document is imported as a standalone item in your knowledge base.
If you need to maintain folder organization, consider organizing your documents into separate knowledge folders in Ravenna that mirror your Google Drive structure.

​
Auto sync

When auto-sync is enabled, Ravenna keeps your Google Drive content up-to-date:
  • Document edits and updates sync to your knowledge base
  • Deleted documents are removed from your knowledge base
  • New documents must be manually added through the import process
