# Google Drive

> Connect your Google Drive data so your Agents can search and reference it through Knowledge Grounding

Connect your Google Drive so your Agents can access documents, spreadsheets, presentations, and other files you and your team rely on.

<Info>
  Once connected, your Agents can search documents, spreadsheets, presentations, PDFs, and other files from Google Drive through [Knowledge Grounding](/overview/platform/knowledge-grounding). You control which Connectors are active for each conversation: toggle Google Drive on or off from the Knowledge Grounding filter in the chat input bar.

## What your Agents can access

Once connected, your Agents have access to documents, spreadsheets, presentations, PDFs, and other files from Google Drive. This content becomes searchable through Knowledge Grounding and is referenced when relevant to your requests.

Your Google Drive data works alongside your other connected tools and [Vault documents](/overview/platform/vaults) to give your Agents a comprehensive view of your organization's information.
