How It Works

When you import from cloud storage:

  1. Select files using the provider's file picker
  2. Files are downloaded to Cuneiform Chat
  3. Processing begins automatically
  4. Documents become searchable once complete

Permissions

Cuneiform Chat requests minimal permissions:

  • Read access to selected files only
  • No write access to your cloud storage
  • No access to files you don't explicitly select

You can revoke access at any time through your cloud provider's settings.

Sync Behavior

Currently, cloud imports are one-time imports:

  • Files are copied at the time of import
  • Changes in cloud storage are not automatically synced
  • To update content, re-import the modified files

Best Practices

  • Organize files first — Structure your cloud folders before importing
  • Select specific files — Import only what you need
  • Check file formats — Ensure files are in supported formats
  • Monitor processing — Verify imported files process successfully

Troubleshooting

Authorization Issues

If you can't connect:

  • Check you're signed into the correct account
  • Try revoking and re-authorizing access
  • Ensure third-party app access is enabled in your provider settings

Import Failures

If files fail to import:

  • Verify files are in supported formats
  • Check files aren't corrupted
  • Ensure you have permission to access the files
  • Try importing fewer files at once
