Connectors

Google Drive

Add Drive files to a task, and let AI employees read and change the files you picked.

WorkPier sees only the files you pick, never the rest of your Drive. It can also work with files it creates there.

Connect Google Drive

1. Open Connectors in the sidebar and choose Connect on Google Drive.
2. Choose Continue to authorization and sign in with your Google account in the new window.

Add a Drive file to a task

1. In the box where you describe the work, choose Add materials (the +), then Google Drive.
2. In the window that opens, choose Choose file, then pick your files in Google's picker.
3. Return to your draft. The files are added, and nothing is sent to the AI employee until you send.

A file can be up to 25 MB, or 10 MB for a Google document. If your browser blocks the Google Drive window, allow pop-ups for WorkPier and try again.

Let an AI employee use your Drive

Type @ in the box and choose Google Drive under Services. The message then shows @Drive, and the AI employee can search and read your Drive files WorkPier can see, including their comments, versions and sharing details.

It can also propose changes: create, edit, move, copy and restore files, edit Docs, Sheets and Slides, add comments, move files to the trash, and share links or change who has access. Each change waits on a card in the task until you choose Confirm, unless Auto mode is on. When a change puts a file in a folder, you can choose Choose folder on the card.

Permissions

On your Google Drive card in Connectors, choose Permissions to switch any of these off: Read files, Create and edit files, Comment, Delete files and comments, and Share and access.

Comments notify the people on the file.
