With AlphaSense, you can set up a live one-way connection with your Google Drive account and apply AI-powered search to your notes.
Enterprise Intelligence Integrations Experience
To sync your account:
Select Integrations on the top right-hand corner of the platform
Select Google Drive
Connecting Your Account
Click the "Connect App" button. Then follow the prompt to enter your Google Drive credentials and Grant Access to sync between Google Drive and AlphaSense.
The Setup Wizard will walk you through the connection. You'll choose between two connection types:
Admin Shared Connections:
Best for organizational setups where centralized and consistent access control are essential. Shared Connections are managed by your IT Admins
Permission Mirroring: AlphaSense Admin Shared Connections mirror whatever permissions are set within your organization's Google Drive instance.
This ensures that every search result or generative AI answer is returned only to the users allowed to access it.
Individual Connections:
Best for personal use, providing flexibility and independent management of your integration. All content uploaded will be private to you by default, but you can manually share documents with groups saved in AlphaSense.
Select Content
Select the Folders you want to sync.
You also have the ability to select files that are not contained within folders.
Select "Manage Tickers & Tags" to easily bulk select and tag your content prior to syncing. This helps streamline the process of sharing materials for individual connections.
