    Google Drive integration for Rig

    The easiest way to connect Google Drive to Claude and other AI tools

    Google Drive is a cloud file store where teams keep exported reports, data files and shared documents across personal and shared drives.

    What Rig syncs from Google Drive

    Once connected, Rig models these objects so questions resolve to the right tables and joins:

    • Files
    • Folders
    • File metadata
    • CSV files
    • Excel files
    • Permissions
    • Shared drives

    How Google Drive connects to Rig

    Rig Ingest watches the Drive folders you choose and loads CSV and Excel files into your warehouse on a schedule, parsing each into a typed table. Rig tracks file metadata and permissions so you know what arrived and who can see it.

    Ingest CSV and Excel files dropped in Drive

    Teams export reports to CSV and Excel and drop them in a Drive folder, where the data goes stale and unjoined. Rig parses each file into a warehouse table on sync, so a file drop becomes queryable data without anyone loading it by hand.

    Ask Rig
    • Load the latest export in the finance folder and show me the totals
    • What rows changed between this month's and last month's CSV?
    • Summarise the contents of the newest Excel file in the ops folder

    Centralise exported reports from across tools

    Reports that other systems can only export as files end up scattered across Drive. Rig pulls them into one place in the warehouse, so exports from different tools sit in consistent tables you can join and compare.

    Ask Rig
    • Combine the weekly sales exports into one table
    • Compare figures across the last four monthly report files
    • Which exported reports have not been updated in 30 days?

    Track file inventory and access

    Rig reads file metadata and permissions across your drives, so you can see what files exist, when they changed and who can access them. Operations and security teams use it to audit shared data without clicking through Drive.

    Ask Rig
    • List files in the shared drive that anyone with the link can view
    • Which files have not been modified in six months?
    • Show files shared outside our domain

    Ask your Google Drive data in Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor

    Rig serves your Google Drive data to AI assistants over MCP. Once Google Drive is synced into your warehouse, you can ask questions in plain English from the tool you already use, and every answer is backed by validated, governed SQL.
