Google Drive

What it is

Google Drive integration lets you import documents directly from Google Drive into Foundry’s discovery pipeline. Connect your Google account via OAuth, browse files with the Google Picker, and import them for AI analysis — all without manual download and re-upload.

Why it matters

Project documents often live in Google Drive. Direct import eliminates the friction of downloading files locally and re-uploading them, and it preserves the connection to the source for re-import.

Key concepts

Google Drive import button: GoogleDriveImportButton triggers the import flow from the Discovery page
Google Picker hook: useGooglePicker launches the native Google file picker for file selection
Drive import queue: useDriveImportQueue manages the import pipeline with progress tracking
Duplicate detection: DuplicateImportDialog warns when an imported file matches a previously imported document
Google Drive connection settings: GoogleDriveConnectionSettings (in Settings) manages OAuth connection and disconnection
Connect/disconnect buttons: ConnectGoogleDriveButton and DisconnectGoogleDriveDialog handle OAuth lifecycle
Connection list: GoogleDriveConnectionList shows all connected Google accounts
