Connecting Google Drive

Summary

Learn how to connect your Google Workspace account to Vincent. This integration allows you to securely import files directly from Google Drive for analysis, eliminating the need to download sensitive documents to your local device.

Why This is Important

This integration provides a seamless, secure bridge between your Google Workspace ecosystem and Vincent. By moving files directly cloud-to-cloud, you maintain strict enterprise data governance, avoid creating unsecured copies on local devices, and keep your focus within the Vincent interface.

Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Open the Document Uploader

In any workflow that allows document uploads, click the 'Add Documents' button.

Step 2: Select Google Drive

From the dropdown menu, select 'Upload from Google Drive'.

Step 3: Authenticate

Sign in using your standard Google Workspace credentials. You simply need to authorize Vincent to access your Drive via the standard Google sign-in prompt. No complex configuration is required.

Step 4: Select and Import Files

You will see the native Google file picker, providing a familiar navigation experience:

• My Drive: Access your personal documents and folders.

• Shared Drives: Access collaborative team spaces and departmental libraries.

• Shared with Me: Quickly locate files that colleagues have specifically shared with you.

Select the specific files you wish to analyze and click Select to import them into Vincent.

Best Practices & Pro Tips

• Permissions Integrity: You will only see and be able to import documents that you already have explicit permission to access in Google Drive.

• One-Way Import: This is a "read-only" action. Vincent creates a copy for analysis; it does not alter, move, or delete your original source files in Google Drive.
