# Import documents from Google Drive

> Connect your Google Drive to import Google Docs and PDFs, and understand how Drive access differs from Google sign-in.

Import a Google Doc or PDF from Google Drive when adding a document or updating a draft. ClearPolicy stores a copy; later edits in Drive do not automatically update it.

## Before you start

You need an owner or administrator role to add documents, and access to the file in Google Drive. Each team member connects their own Google account.

Supported files are **Google Docs**, converted to PDF, and **PDF files** stored in Drive.

## Connect Google Drive

Open **Settings → Integrations**, find **Google Drive**, and click **Connect**. Sign in to Google and approve Drive access.

You can also connect when prompted from the document picker.

## Import from Google Drive

1. Open **Documents → Add Document → More options** and choose **Pick from Google Drive**.
2. Select the file from your Drive.
3. Check the name and **Requires a signature** setting.
4. Submit the form. The new document is published; review it under **Revisions** before sending.

For an existing document, open **Revisions** and work on a draft. Import the updated file there, review it, then publish. See [update a document](/guides/update-document).

## Sign in with Google

**Sign in with Google** on the login page lets team members use their Google account to access ClearPolicy. Google sign-in and Drive file access are separate permissions. If imports ask you to connect Drive, complete that permission step even if you already use Google to sign in.

## Disconnect Drive

Use the Google Drive disconnect action under **Settings → Integrations**. Disconnecting stops that connection's future imports; documents already imported remain in ClearPolicy.

## Troubleshooting

* **The file is missing:** confirm the connected Google account can access it and that it is a supported type.
* **Google asks for permission again:** reconnect Drive under Integrations and retry.
* **The Google Doc is too large to export:** open it in Google Docs, choose **File → Download → PDF Document (.pdf)**, then upload the PDF to ClearPolicy within the upload size limit.
* **The Drive version changed:** import it as a new draft revision in ClearPolicy; imported copies do not sync continuously.
