    Seamless Cloud Storage Integration

    We're excited to announce a powerful new feature that makes working with AI even more convenient: direct integration with Google Drive and Microsoft OneDrive. No more downloading files to your computer just to upload them again. Access your cloud documents directly from the chat window with a single click.

    How to Access Cloud Storage

    Click the '+' button in the chat window to access Google Drive and OneDrive files

    How to Access Your Cloud Files

    Accessing your cloud storage files in AI·Collab is simple:

    Click the '+' button in the chat input area
    Select 'Google Drive' or 'Microsoft OneDrive' from the menu
    Choose your files and attach them to your conversation

    Google Drive Integration

    Connect your personal Google account to access all your Google Drive files, including Google Docs, Sheets, PDFs, and more.

    Supported File Types:

    • Google Docs (converted to text)
    • Google Sheets (converted to CSV)
    • PDF documents
    • Images and photos

    OneDrive Integration (Personal Accounts)

    Connect your personal Microsoft account (Outlook.com, Hotmail.com) to access OneDrive files. Works with consumer Microsoft accounts.

    Supported File Types:

    • Office documents (Word, Excel, PowerPoint)
    • PDF documents
    • Images and photos
    • Text files and more

    One-Time Login Process

    The first time you connect a cloud storage provider, you'll go through a simple authentication process:

    Google Drive

    Sign in with your Google account. You'll authorize AI·Collab to read files (read-only access). Your Google credentials are never stored on our servers.

    Microsoft OneDrive

    Sign in with your personal Microsoft account. Read-only access to your files. Your Microsoft credentials remain secure with Microsoft.

    ⚠️ Important: Disable Pop-up Blockers!

    You must disable the pop-up blocker for your Open WebUI domain for the integration to work.

    The OneDrive and Google Drive file pickers and authentication flows happen in a pop-up window. If nothing happens when you click a cloud storage option, your browser is almost certainly blocking pop-ups.

    How to Fix:

    1. Look for a pop-up blocker icon in your browser's address bar
    2. Click it and select 'Always allow pop-ups from chat.aicollab.app'
    3. Refresh the page and try again

    Note: Some browsers (like Chrome) may have additional restrictions compared to others (like Edge).

    Why This Matters

    Seamless Workflow

    No need to download and re-upload files. Access your documents where they already live.

    Secure & Private

    OAuth authentication means we never see your password. Read-only access keeps your files safe.

    More Efficient

    Save time and clicks. Get straight to work with your AI assistant.

    Flexible Access

    Use files from multiple sources: local uploads, Google Drive, and OneDrive—all in one place.
