# Google Drive

> Docs, sheets, Markdown, CSV, and PDF. Per-file ACLs preserved. Currently gated.

<Note>
  **Drive is gated during private beta.** Google requires app verification for restricted scopes like `drive.readonly`, and verification takes 4–6 weeks. While Repo waits, Drive access is per-customer manual approval. Click **Request access** on the Drive connector card → we'll email you when you're added as a Google Cloud test user (usually within 24h) → then **Connect** works as normal.

## What's ingested

* Google Docs (full text, headings preserved)
* Google Sheets (cell content, sheet names)
* Markdown files
* CSV files (rows up to a token cap)
* PDF files (text extraction)
* File metadata (owner, last modified, sharing settings, folder path)

## What's NOT ingested

* Files in Shared Drives where the connecting user is not a member
* Files explicitly excluded by mime type (videos, images, executables)
* Trashed files
* Comments and suggestions (only the document body)

## OAuth scopes

* `https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.readonly` (restricted — requires Google verification for production)
* `https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.email` (to identify the connecting account)
* `https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.profile`

## Access policy preservation

Drive is the only connector that preserves per-file ACLs. Every ingested file carries an `accessPolicy` block describing:

* Who has direct access (emails)
* Domain-wide sharing settings
* "Anyone with the link" status

This metadata is returned in retrieval hits so your agent (or downstream re-enforcement) can filter results by the requesting user's identity.

### Backfill warning

Older Repo deployments ingested Drive files before access policy preservation shipped. The connector card surfaces a warning when this is the case:

> Access-policy backfill required: N Drive items are excluded from retrieval until a full resync preserves sharing metadata.

Run a `fullResync` to backfill — it re-fetches every file's sharing settings and updates the access policy.

## Sync cadence

Auto-sync every 15 minutes. Uses Drive's change-feed API for incremental syncs; full resyncs walk the entire folder tree.

## Limitations during gated beta

* **Google's "unverified app" warning screen** appears for end users until Google verification completes. They click "Advanced → Go to Repo (unsafe)" to proceed. We know it's ugly — verification is in progress.
* **Hard cap of 100 test users per Google Cloud OAuth client** during verification. If you need to onboard more before verification clears, contact us.
* Verification ETA: 4–6 weeks from submission. Submitted: 2026-05-24.
