Google Drive

Documents hold detail that's easy to lose track of once a meeting or project moves on, and finding it again usually means remembering where it's saved and searching for it directly. Quin connects to your Google Drive to search files for relevant information, create new documents, and move files into the right folders, all from the same conversation where the need comes up.

What you can do with Google Drive and Quin

• Get an answer to a question written down in a Drive document.
  There's no need to open the file yourself to find it.
• Have a new document created and saved to a specific folder.
  A plain request is enough, no template or manual setup required.
• Move an existing file to a different folder.
  There's no need to navigate to it in Drive first.
• Search across supported file types.
  That includes Google Docs, Sheets, Slides, and PDFs, all from one request.
• Keep files organized as part of the same conversation that created the need.
  It's not a separate cleanup task pushed to later.
• Reference information from a Drive file directly in a response.
  There's no need to switch apps to read it first.

Who this helps most

• Teams with documents scattered across shared drives, where finding the right file usually means remembering where it was saved.
• Anyone who creates the same kind of document repeatedly, since a plain request handles creation and filing in one step.
• Roles that reference documents constantly in conversation, where citing the actual file beats paraphrasing from memory.

How this shows up day to day

• A detail buried somewhere in a long document.
  Asking about it directly returns the answer without anyone opening the file to search for it.
• A new document that needs to exist and land in the right folder.
  One request creates it and files it, instead of starting from an open tab in Drive.
• Confirming the right permissions are in place.
  Full access, rather than read-only, is what lets Quin create or move files instead of just finding them.

Frequently asked questions

What happens when I connect Google Drive?
Quin can search your Drive files for relevant information and, depending on the permissions granted, create new documents or move files between folders.

How does Quin find information inside a Drive file?
By searching the content of files you've given it access to. More specific keywords from the document help narrow the search when a file is long or the terms are common.

What permissions does Quin need to create or move files?
Full Drive permissions, rather than read-only access. Read-only covers search and answering questions; full access is what lets Quin create documents or move files between folders.

Is my data kept private and secure?
Yes. Quin is SOC 2 Type II certified and encrypts data in transit and at rest, the same standard applied across every integration, not just Google Drive.

Does Quin replace Google Drive?
No. Google Drive still stores and organizes your files the way it always has. Quin adds a way to search, create, and organize them from conversation.
