Who can connect Google Drive for the company?

A company connection is installed by an administrator.

Can I connect Google Drive just for myself?

Anyone can install a personal connection within the plan’s limit and use it in their own conversations.

Do I use my Google Drive account or a company account?

Yours: Google Drive asks for a sign-in to the service account, and each person signs in with their own. The credential is stored encrypted and only you see it. That is what keeps, inside Google Drive, the record of who did what.

Does Skyller do everything on that action list?

The list is what the vendor offers. What the AI uses in your company is what the administrator turned on, for the groups they defined — Skyller never widens the connector's access.

Does an action in Google Drive happen without anyone approving it?

Reads happen within permission. Write actions have a risk level; sensitive ones show a confirmation card before running and are recorded. The company adjusts the classification when needed.

Google Drive does not show up in my company's catalog.

The administrator may have hidden the integration for your company, or the vendor may have discontinued it — in that case it leaves the catalog on the next synchronization, without deleting what was already connected. Talk to whoever administers Skyller in your company.

APPROVAL BY RISK

sensitive actions show a card before running

Live proof

One request, two real Google Drive actions and one approval.

The scene uses actions the vendor publishes for Google Drive. In your company, only the functions turned on by the administrator come into play.

Input
A team member asks, in the conversation, for something that today requires opening Google Drive — inside their area's space, with their login.
What Skyller does
1. 01Picks, among the enabled functions, the action “Find file” and queries Google Drive with the person's own credential.
2. 02If the request requires writing — for example, “Create a File from Text” —, shows the card with what it is about to do and waits for Approve.
3. 03Returns the result in the conversation and records who asked, which action was used and when.
Result
Google Drive stops being an open tab and starts answering inside the conversation — through the functions your company enabled.

What this scene does not promise

Both actions come from the vendor's catalog; in your company only the functions turned on by the administrator are available.
If a write action is not classified as sensitive, it may run without a card; the classification is adjustable by the company.
Being in this catalog does not mean being installed, with a valid login, working in your company.

Illustrative scene with fictitious data; the actions mentioned exist in the vendor's catalog.

Where this helps your work

Google Drive inside the conversation where the work happens.

Three common situations for people who use Google Drive every day. What Skyller does in each one depends on the functions your company turns on.

Looking for the file

“Where is this customer's signed contract?”

The person asks and Skyller searches Google Drive with their login, only in the folders they can access, and returns the file link.

File located in the conversation

Organizing

“Create the project folder and move the brief there.”

Creating and moving are write actions: Skyller shows the card with what it is about to do in Google Drive and waits for Approve.

Organization with approval

Administering

“Searching and reading, yes. Sharing externally, no.”

The administrator turns on only the routine's functions in Google Drive; external sharing and deletion stay off. Every call is recorded.

Actions and events

What the vendor offers in Google Drive.

Names as the vendor publishes them, in English, with the description summarized to its first sentence. In your company, the administrator turns on only the necessary actions; none of them runs without permission, and sensitive ones go through approval.

What your company needs to use Google Drive.

Login: Each person signs in to their own Google Drive account. Skyller guides the sign-in and stores the credential encrypted, visible only to the person who created it.
Who installs: An administrator connects Google Drive for the company and shares it with people or groups. Anyone can connect just for themselves, within the plan's limit.
Functions: 77 published actions: the administrator turns on only the necessary ones. Sensitive ones ask for confirmation before running.
Plan: Counts as a company or personal connection within the plan's allowance; the larger plans have no cap. The connections-per-plan table is on the catalog page.
