Integration

How Kelu works with Google Drive

Everything you can do once the integration is connected.

Google Docs content extraction

Kelu extracts formatted text content from Google Docs, preserving headings and structure for accurate chunking and retrieval.

Folder-scoped indexing

Point Kelu at a specific Drive folder. It indexes all supported files inside, including nested sub-folders.

Scheduled sync

Sync Drive content on a regular schedule. When a team updates a Google Doc, the next sync picks up the change automatically.

Shared Drive support

Index content from Google Shared Drives (formerly Team Drives) in addition to personal Drive folders.

Setup

How to set it up

Add a Google Drive source in Kelu and authenticate with your Google Workspace account via OAuth.

Google Drive — Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about connecting Kelu to Google Drive.

Yes. Kelu can index content from Google Shared Drives (formerly Team Drives) in addition to personal Drive folders. This is especially useful for organizations that store their shared documentation in Shared Drives accessible to all team members.

Kelu indexes Google Docs (full text content) and text-rich Google Sheets. Binary files such as images, PDFs without text layers, and non-text file formats are skipped. Google Slides support is on the roadmap.

Yes. You select specific folders during source configuration. Kelu only indexes files inside those folders and their sub-folders. You do not need to grant access to your entire Drive.

Kelu uses a configured sync schedule to periodically re-index your selected Drive folders. On each sync run, it checks file modification timestamps and only re-processes documents that have changed since the last sync.

You control visibility. Map your Google Drive source to a restricted Kelu collection to ensure the indexed content only appears in your employee portal, not in public-facing customer widgets.
