# Google Drive Knowledge

You can now connect your **Google Drive** to [MagicBlocks](https://magicblocks.ai/hc) to easily import documents, PDFs, and files directly into your AI Agent’s Knowledge.  
This makes it faster to build and update your Agent’s brain using existing company documents — no manual uploads needed.

## What You’ll Learn

-   How to connect Google Drive to MagicBlocks
-   How to upload files directly from Google Drive into a Knowledge Collection
-   How to manage and refresh Drive-based content

### **Step 1: Connect Google Drive in Library**

Go to the **Library** menu in your MagicBlocks workspace.

Open the **Connections** tab.

Find **Google Drive** under *Third-party integrations*.

Click **Connect**. ![](https://cdn-assets.productfruits.com/91e38d8c-c400-4482-a8d1-7d53075bab02)

Sign in with your Google account and grant [MagicBlocks](https://magicblocks.ai/hc) permission to access your Drive.

Once connected, your Drive will appear as an import source anywhere file uploads are supported.  
You can disconnect anytime by returning to **Library → Connections → Google Drive → Disconnect**.

### **Step 2: Add Files from Google Drive to Knowledge**

Go to **Knowledge → Collections**.

Click **\+ Create New** or open an existing collection.

Select **Add Knowledge → Files**.

In the upload window, click **Choose Files ▾ → From Google Drive**. ![](https://cdn-assets.productfruits.com/9a95e1a7-988f-4288-af2b-a7a19f9216ec)

Browse and select the document(s) you want to import.

Supported formats:

-   PDF (.pdf)
-   Word (.doc, .docx)
-   Text (.txt)
-   CSV (.csv)
-   Excel (.xls, .xlsx)  
    (Max size: 10 MB per file)

Toggle **Q&A Detection** ON to let MagicBlocks automatically extract structured Q&A pairs from your file.

Click **Upload**.

Your Drive files will now appear in the Knowledge collection and can be activated for any AI Agent.

### **Step 3: Manage and Refresh Knowledge**

**Refresh Files:**  
When you update a linked Google Drive document, simply re-upload or refresh the file in MagicBlocks to update the content.

**Tag and Organize:**  
Use tags to label your files (e.g., *Pricing*, *Product Info*, *Legal Docs*) for easier search and management.

**Deactivate or Delete:**  
Set the file status to *Inactive* to temporarily remove it from AI reference, or delete it to remove it permanently.

**Manual Google Knowledge Refetching:**  
Update your data on demand. You can now manually trigger a **Refetch** of your Google Knowledge sources to ensure your AI Agent always operates with the most current information.
