To sync your own Google Drive files into a Deal Room, connect your Google Drive account to Spekit once. Your admin turns the Google Drive integration on for the company. You connect your own account so Spekit can pull the files you already have access to.
ℹ️ Before you start: An Admin must turn on the Google Drive integration for your company first. If you do not see a way to connect or the Spekit buttons in your Google files, ask your admin whether the integration is on. See Connect Google Drive for the admin steps.
1. Why you connect your own account
Spekit only syncs files you can already open in Google Drive. Connecting your own account authorizes Spekit to pull those files. It does not give anyone else access to your files, and it does not change what your teammates can see.
You only connect once. After that, syncing works without asking again.
2. How to connect
You connect inside a Deal Room, from the Sync Files pop-up. There are two ways to open it.
- Open your Deal Room.
- Click the Add New button at the top, or click + Content near the sections on the left (the + icon, then Content).
- Click Sync Files. The Sync Files pop-up opens.
- Click Connect Google Drive.
- In the Google pop-up, choose your Google account and allow access.
- Once connected, select the files to sync into your Deal Room.
ℹ️ NOTE: This is the same Sync Files pop-up admins use to connect. If your account is already connected, you go straight to selecting files.
3. What happens after you connect
| What | Detail |
|---|---|
| One-time step | You connect once. The Spekit buttons work without asking again after that. |
| Automatic updates | Spekit refreshes your synced files from Drive within a few hours. Use Force Sync on a file to push an update sooner. |
| Permission-aware | You can only sync files you have permission to open in Google Drive. |
4. How to disconnect
You disconnect from the same Sync Files pop-up.
- Open your Deal Room.
- Click the Add New button at the top, or click + Content on the left (the + icon, then Content).
- Click Sync Files to open the Sync Files pop-up.
- Click Disconnect.
Content you already synced stays in your Deal Room, but future changes will stop syncing.
