The Google Drive integration allows ZeroTwo to interact with your Google Drive files, enabling you to search documents, retrieve file contents, and manage your Drive files directly through natural language commands.

​
What you can do

With Google Drive connected to ZeroTwo, you can:

Search files

Find files and folders using natural language queries across your entire Drive

Read documents

Access and analyze content from Google Docs, Sheets, Slides, and PDFs

Upload files

Create new files or upload content directly to your Drive

Manage files

Organize, rename, move, and share files through AI commands

​
Connecting Google Drive

1

Open integrations

Navigate to Settings → Integrations in ZeroTwo, or click the integrations icon in the sidebar.
2

Find Google Drive

Locate the Google Drive integration in the list of available connectors.
3

Authorize access

Click “Connect” and you’ll be redirected to Google’s authorization page.Permissions requested:
  • View and download files from your Google Drive
  • Create, edit, and delete files in your Google Drive
  • View and manage Drive folders

​
Privacy and permissions

​
What ZeroTwo can access

Access scope:
  • Only files and folders in your Google Drive
  • Only when you explicitly request Drive operations
  • File metadata (names, dates, sizes, permissions)
  • File contents when you ask to read or analyze them
What ZeroTwo cannot access:
  • Files you haven’t explicitly queried
  • Other Google services (Gmail, Calendar) without separate authorization
  • Files in Team Drives unless you have access
  • Deleted files in trash (unless specifically requested)

​
Permission levels

The Google Drive integration requests these permissions:
​
drive.readonly
scope
View and download all your Google Drive files
​
drive.file
scope
View and manage files created or opened by ZeroTwo
​
drive
scope
Full access to create, edit, delete, and share files (optional, for full functionality)
You can grant limited permissions initially and expand access later if needed for additional features.

​
Data handling

Privacy protections:
  • File contents are processed only for your queries
  • No Drive content stored permanently on ZeroTwo servers
  • File data not used for AI model training
  • Access tokens encrypted and securely stored
  • You can revoke access anytime through Google account settings

​
Troubleshooting

Problem: Can’t connect or authorization failsSolutions:
  1. Ensure you’re logged into the correct Google account
  2. Check that third-party app access is enabled in Google settings
  3. Try disconnecting and reconnecting the integration
  4. Clear browser cache and cookies
  5. Disable browser extensions that might block OAuth
If issues persist, check your Google account’s security settings.
Problem: AI can’t locate specific filesSolutions:
  1. Verify the file exists and you have access
  2. Check file isn’t in trash or a Team Drive without access
  3. Try more specific search terms (include file extension)
  4. Specify the folder path if you know it
  5. Check file sharing permissions
Instead of: "Find the report"
Try: "Find the file named 'Q4-Report.docx' in the 'Reports' folder"
Problem: “Permission denied” or “Access restricted” errorsSolutions:
  1. Check the file’s sharing settings in Google Drive
  2. Verify you own the file or have edit permissions
  3. For Team Drive files, ensure you have appropriate access
  4. Try reconnecting the integration with full permissions
  5. Contact the file owner to request access
Some operations (like editing or deleting) require owner or editor permissions.
Problem: Timeout or errors with large filesSolutions:
  1. For very large files (>50MB), process sections instead of entire file
  2. Break complex operations into smaller steps
  3. For spreadsheets, specify specific sheets or ranges
  4. Consider downloading large files and uploading to ZeroTwo directly
Instead of: "Analyze the entire 100MB spreadsheet"
Try: "Analyze Sheet1 from the sales data spreadsheet"
Problem: Recent changes not reflected immediatelySolutions:
  1. Recent file changes may take a few minutes to sync
  2. Try refreshing: “Refresh my Drive file list”
  3. Specify file by ID if you have it (more reliable than name)
  4. Wait 1-2 minutes after making changes in Google Drive
Google Drive API may have brief caching delays.
