What is Google Drive?
Google Drive is the cloud storage and collaboration platform used by Google Workspace organizations. Teams store meeting notes, internal guides, project specs, and policy documents in Google Docs, making Drive a critical knowledge source for AI assistants.

Google Drive — Frequently Asked Questions

Kelu indexes Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides, plus PDF, Word, Excel, CSV, HTML, Markdown, and plain text files. Images, video, Forms, and files over 32 MB are skipped.
Yes. You select specific folders during source configuration. Kelu only indexes files inside those folders and their sub-folders. If you include nothing, Kelu indexes the whole drive.
Kelu syncs your selected Drive folders every 10 minutes. Unchanged files are not downloaded again, so only documents that have changed since the last sync are re-processed.
You control it. Add your Google Drive source to an internal knowledge base to ensure the indexed content never appears in public-facing customer widgets. In an external knowledge base, its files are public.
