A step-by-step guide to integrating a Google Drive folder into your knowledge base.
Adding a Google Drive Folder
From your knowledge base, navigate to “Upload & Index” → “Data Sources”.
Select “+ Data Sources”.
Choose the Google Drive option to connect a Google Drive Folder.
Configuration Steps
1. Name Your Data Source
Assign a meaningful name to this data source. This name will help you easily identify the purpose or nature of the link within your knowledge base.
2. Provide the Folder ID
To connect your Google Drive folder, you need to retrieve the Folder ID. Getting the Folder ID is simple, simply navigate to your desired folder, then check the URL:
Copy the ID and enter it as the folder ID.
3. Provide the Service Account Credentials JSON
In the Google Cloud console, go to Menu > IAM & Admin > Service Accounts.
Fill in the service account details, then click Create and continue. You only need to complete the mandatory parts.
Note: By default, Google creates a unique service account ID. If you would like to change the ID, modify the ID in the service account ID field.
Click Create and continue.
Click Done. Make a note of the email address for the service account.
Click on the service account you just created, navigate to the Keys tab, and select Add Key > Create new Key.
Finally, create a JSON key. A JSON file should be automatically downloaded in your browser. Open it with any text editor, copy all the content, and paste onto the “Service Account Credentials JSON” field in Ragdoll AI.
