Connecting Google Drive, OneDrive, and SharePoint to AI Search

Cloud drives are often the largest source of organizational knowledge. They contain policies, sales decks, spreadsheets, contracts, research, and project notes.

A good connector should sync files continuously, detect deletes and moves, preserve folder context, and carry access metadata into the retrieval layer.

What To Prioritize

Start with high-value shared drives and document libraries. Define collections by team or business domain, then validate that search results match the permissions users already expect.

Once the connector is stable, add refresh schedules and monitoring so stale documents do not become stale answers.
