Overview
The Google Drive connector uses OAuth to link your Google account to Workshop. Once connected, you can browse your Drive files from within conversations using the @ mention popup — no API keys or service accounts required. This connector is ideal for:- Accessing documents stored in Drive without downloading them first
- Referencing Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides in conversations
- Working with files across personal and shared drives
