Frequently Asked Questions
Didn't find your answer? Please don't hesitate to reach out.
The Google Drive connector supports OAuth2 authentication with access tokens, refresh tokens, client ID, and client secret. You can provide an optional access token which will be obtained via refresh if not provided.
Can I use this connector with any AI agent framework?
The connector is compatible with any Python-based AI agent framework including LangChain, LlamaIndex, CrewAI, Pydantic AI, and custom implementations.
Does this connector support write operations?
No, the Google Drive connector currently focuses on read-only operations. Write operations like creating files, uploading documents, deleting files, updating permissions, adding comments, or moving files are not currently supported.
How is this different from the Airbyte data connector?
Agent connectors are specifically designed for AI agents and LLM applications. They provide natural language interfaces, optimized response formats, and seamless integration with agent frameworks, unlike traditional ETL-focused connectors.
Will there be a platform for agent connectors?
The hosted version with secure credential storage through Airbyte Cloud is already available. See the hosted usage section in the documentation for setup instructions.
