## Supported File Types

Google Drive sync supports the same formats as document upload:

* **Google Docs** — exported as text
* **PDF files**
* **Word documents** (.docx)
* **Text files** (.txt)

## Auto-Sync

Google Drive sources are automatically re-synced on a schedule. If you update a file in Drive, the changes are picked up during the next sync cycle.

## Managing Connections

On the **Integrations** page:

* **Rename** a Google Drive connection
* **Disconnect** — revokes access and stops all syncs

## Routing Instructions

Add source-specific context for Google Drive files.

**Example:**

> "These are product specification sheets. Include model numbers and compatibility information when referencing this source."
