Connect Google Drive to train your chatbot on Docs, Sheets, Slides, and uploaded files, including files in Shared Drives.

​
Connect and sync

1

Open the connector

In your chatbot’s sidebar, open Files & Data Sources → Add Files and choose Google Drive.
2

Authorize SiteGPT

Select Connect Account and sign in with Google. SiteGPT requests read access so it can list and fetch the files you choose.
3

Pick files and sync

Select files and confirm with Sync Selected Files. Training status appears live in the list.

​
What syncs from Drive

  • Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides are converted to text automatically.
  • Uploaded files in supported formats (PDF, DOC/DOCX, TXT, CSV, and similar) are extracted like direct uploads.
  • Images, audio, and video are skipped.
  • Shared Drives are supported. You can sync files others shared with you as long as your account can open them.

​
Keeping it in sync

Drive files do not update in SiteGPT automatically. When a document changes, select it in Files & Data Sources and use Resync, or resync in bulk. To refresh from the command line or a cron job of your own, use the CLI: sitegpt knowledge documents resync --chatbot <chatbot-id> <document-id>.

​
Disconnecting

To revoke SiteGPT’s access, visit myaccount.google.com/permissions and remove SiteGPT. Trained content stays in your chatbot until you delete it from the list.
Open the row to see the error. The usual causes are unsupported formats (image-only PDFs, media files) and files your account can no longer open.
Files are subject to the same per-file size limit as direct uploads. Split very large documents, or contact support if you regularly need bigger files.
