| Type | Available in | Processing | Sync |
|---|---|---|---|
| File Upload | Chat, Agents | Preview / Embedding | — |
| Files from Connectors | Chat, Agents | Preview / Embedding | Live (queried) |
| Google Drive Sync | Knowledge Hub | Embedding | Automatic, ongoing |
| Folders | Actions, @-mention | Embedding | — |
| Connector Actions | Actions, @-mention | API | Live (queried) |
Upload Files from Computer
Files can be uploaded directly from your computer and added to a chat or agent as a knowledge source. Supported types include PDF, DOC/DOCX, XLS/XLSX, CSV, PPT/PPTX, TXT, MD, HTML, and images, up to 50 MB per file.
| Available in | Chat, Agents |
| Processing | Preview or Embedding search |
| Sync | None |
Use Files from Connectors
Files from connected tools — for example SharePoint, OneDrive, or Google Drive via their connectors — can be browsed and read live. The connector queries the source on demand; the file is not bulk-imported.
| Available in | Chat, Agents |
| Processing | Preview and/or Embedding search |
| Sync | Live — queried in real time |
Sync a Google Drive Folder
A Google Drive folder can be synced into the Knowledge Hub so its contents are kept up to date automatically. This is the only sync source today — SharePoint, OneDrive, and Dropbox are not synced (SharePoint/OneDrive are browse-only via the Microsoft 365 connector).
| Available in | Knowledge Hub (agents, chat @-mention) |
| Processing | Embedding search |
| Sync | Automatic, ongoing background sync |
Folders
Knowledge Folders are now called Folders. Find them in the Library → Folders.
A folder is a managed collection of files in the Knowledge Hub that you can structure, share, and reuse across agents.
| Available in | Agent actions, @ in chat |
| Processing | Embedding search |
| Permissions | Owner and shared users |
| Sync | None (unless Drive-synced) |
Connector Actions
Knowledge can also be retrieved on demand through connector actions (Slack, Notion, Jira, HubSpot, Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, and more), or through a remote MCP server you connect.
| Available in | Agent actions, @ in chat |
| Processing | API call |
| Permissions | Inherited from the connection |
| Sync | Live — queried on every request |
