RelayHub integrates with Google Drive so you can pull documents, spreadsheets, and presentations directly into a conversation or workspace for AI-powered analysis — without downloading and re-uploading files manually.

​
Connecting Your Google Account

1
Open the integrations panel
2
Navigate to any chat or workspace and click the cloud import icon in the file attachment area. Select Google Drive from the list of available connectors.
3
Authorize with Google
4
A Google sign-in window opens. Choose the Google account that has access to the files you need, then review the permissions RelayHub is requesting and click Allow. RelayHub requests read-only access to your Drive files — it cannot modify or delete anything in your Google account.
5
Your Google connection is tied to your RelayHub user account. Other team members must connect their own Google accounts separately, and each person only sees files they have access to in Google Drive.
6
Confirm the connection
7
After authorization completes, the Google Drive browser opens inside RelayHub. You will see your recent files and folder structure. A green check icon next to the Google Drive option confirms the connection is active.

​
Browsing and Importing Files

Once connected, you can browse your entire Google Drive hierarchy from within RelayHub.
1
Browse your files
2
The file browser displays your Drive contents with folders, file names, types, and last-modified dates. Click into folders to navigate deeper, or use the search bar at the top to find a specific file by name.
3
Select files to import
4
Click on any file to select it for import. You can select multiple files across different folders before importing. Supported file types include PDFs, Word documents, Excel spreadsheets, PowerPoint presentations, CSV files, and plain text files.
5
Google-native formats (Google Docs, Sheets, Slides) are automatically exported to their Microsoft Office equivalents during import — no manual conversion needed.
6
Import and process
7
Click Import Selected to bring the files into RelayHub. Each file goes through the standard ingestion pipeline: text extraction, chunking, and embedding generation. Once processing completes, the AI can search, summarize, and analyze the file contents in your conversations.

​
What Happens After Import

Imported files appear in your File Hub alongside any files you uploaded directly. They receive the same treatment as manual uploads:
  • Text extraction pulls content from PDFs, Office documents, and images (via OCR).
  • Embeddings are generated for semantic search and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG).
  • Knowledge graph entities are extracted when knowledge features are enabled for your workspace.
You can reference imported Drive files in any conversation by attaching them from the File Hub, or the AI will retrieve relevant content automatically when you ask questions related to the file contents.

​
Disconnecting Google Drive

To remove the Google Drive connection from your RelayHub account:
  1. Open the integrations panel by clicking the cloud import icon.
  2. Click the Disconnect button next to Google Drive.
  3. Confirm the disconnection when prompted.
Disconnecting removes RelayHub’s access to your Google Drive. Files you already imported remain in RelayHub and are not affected. You can reconnect at any time by going through the authorization flow again.
Disconnecting does not revoke the OAuth token on Google’s side. To fully revoke access, visit your Google Account permissions page and remove RelayHub from the list of connected apps.
