# Google Drive Overview

> Overview of the Google Drive connector

## How it works

The Google Drive connector indexes documents in your Drive. Currently, it supports:

* Google: Docs, Sheets, and Slides
* Microsoft: Word, Excel, and PowerPoint
* PDF, CSV, and TXT files
* Certain other document, plaintext, and image files

## Setting up

Note: This Connector is relatively involved to set up.

* **\[Recommended]** If you want to setup the connector via Service Accounts, follow the guide
  [here](https://docs.hymalaia.com/connectors/google_drive/service_account.md). This does require a business Google Workspace / access to the Admin panel.
  If you are an organization that meets these pre-requisites, then this is likely the preferred approach.

* If you want to setup the connector via individual account OAuth, follow the guide [here](https://docs.hymalaia.com/connectors/google_drive/oauth.md).
  This does not require a business Google Workspace.

* If you have any questions about the setup / which approach is best for you, don't hesitate to
  reach out to [support@hymalaia.com](mailto:support@hymalaia.com) if you need help.

> [!NOTE]
>
> You can set up more than one Google Drive connector on a single Hymalaia instance,
> each with its own credential and service account.
> This lets you index multiple Google Workspaces from one Hymalaia deployment.
