Google Drive — Connector Configuration

Once a Google Drive connection is created, clicking into it (via Edit) opens the Connector Configuration panel. This panel has four sections, accessible from the left sidebar: Overview, Sync History, Scheduling, and Settings.

Steps

1. Authorize access (Required)

  • Enter a Connection name (e.g. "Google Drive Connector")
  • Click Connect with Google Drive to authenticate via OAuth

2. Choose what to sync

  • Sync Specific Folders — add one or more folder URLs (e.g. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/...)
  • Use + Add Folder URL to include additional folders
  • Use the trash icon to remove a folder from the list

3. Initial Sync

  • Optionally check Start syncing right after connecting to begin indexing immediately upon setup

4. Save

  • Click Save connector to complete setup, or Cancel to discard

1. Overview (Sync Overview)

Manage and monitor connector synchronization for this connection.

  • Indexing Status — a progress bar showing overall completion (e.g. "100% completed · Completed"), along with:
    • Last Indexed — how long ago the last indexing run occurred (e.g. "2 minutes ago")
    • Duration — how long the last run took (e.g. "1m 0s")
  • Indexing Options — a Sync button to manually trigger a new indexing run for this connector
  • Record stats row — a breakdown of all records processed in the last run:
    • Total — total number of records found
    • Completed — records successfully indexed
    • Failed — records that errored out during indexing
    • In Progress — records currently being processed
    • Skipped — records excluded from indexing (e.g. unsupported file types)
    • Queued — records waiting to be processed
  • Indexed Records — a searchable, filterable list of every file processed, showing:
    • File name and icon
    • Status badge (Completed, Skipped, etc.)
    • A reason note for skipped/failed files (e.g. "This file type (video/mp4) is not supported for indexing")
    • A link-out icon to open the file at its source
    • Search records bar and Status filter to narrow the list
    • Pagination controls (rows per page, page navigation)

2. Sync History

Review the latest connector runs and outcomes.

  • Each entry represents one past sync run, showing:
    • Run typeIncremental (only new/changed files) or Full (entire drive re-synced)
    • Timestamp — when the run started (e.g. "Aug 15, 4:17 PM")
    • Duration — how long the run took (e.g. "Duration: 1m 0s")
    • Result summary — counts of completed / failed / in-progress records for that run
    • Status badge — overall outcome (e.g. Completed) This gives a historical audit trail of every sync, useful for troubleshooting when and why data changed.

3. Scheduling

Configure automatic sync settings so the connector runs without manual intervention.

  • Schedule Sync toggle — turns automatic syncing on or off
  • Run Type — choose the sync mode for scheduled runs (e.g. Incremental)
  • Run — set frequency (e.g. Daily) and time (hour : minute, in UTC)
  • Exclude Weekends — checkbox to skip scheduled runs on Saturdays/Sundays
  • A summary line confirms the effective schedule in both UTC and local time (e.g. "Every day at 02:00 AM (UTC) / 10:00 PM (EDT)")
  • Next 5 Executions — expandable link to preview the next few scheduled run times
  • Save Schedule — commits any changes to the schedule

4. Settings

Configure connector-level identity and scope.

  • Connector Name — editable label identifying this connection (e.g. "testing_AKC")
  • Status — live connection health indicator (e.g. ✅ Connected)
  • Sync Specific Folders — restrict indexing to specific folder(s) instead of the whole drive
    • Add a folder via its Google Drive URL
    • Each added folder shows a checkmark (validated) and the resolved folder name
    • Trash icon removes a folder from the sync scope
    • + Add Folder URL to add more folders Refresh (top right, available on every tab) reloads the latest connector state.
