Connect Google Drive so Grok can open your Docs and Sheets

Google Drive is a built-in connector. After OAuth, Grok can reach Drive files, Docs, Sheets, and Slides from a normal chat.

Connect Drive

  1. Go to grok.com/connectors.
  2. Click New Connector and choose Google Drive.
  3. Complete Google's OAuth screen. Approve only what you are willing to share.
  4. Back in chat, ask for a file by name, folder, or what you need from it: summarize this Doc, chart the Sheet, pull the latest Slide notes.

Grok turns the connector on when the question needs Drive. You do not flip a per-message switch.

Business and Enterprise

On Grok Business and Enterprise, a team admin must provision the connector in the cloud console before members can connect it. If New Connector never lists Drive, that is the first place to check.

Disconnect

  1. Open grok.com/connectors.
  2. Find Google Drive and click Disconnect.
  3. Or revoke the app under your Google account permissions.

Pitfalls

  • Drive is separate from Gmail and Google Calendar. Each one is its own OAuth row.
  • A work Google Workspace admin can block the OAuth app. That blocks the connector for everyone under that domain.
  • Custom MCP connectors are a different path for tools that are not in the built-in list or catalog. Use New Connector → Custom only when you have a public MCP server URL ready.
