Cloud Sync

Sync folders from Dropbox and cloud storage into your knowledge base.

Cloud Sync lets you connect external storage services and automatically sync documents into your knowledge base. Files are downloaded, processed, and indexed — and kept in sync as changes occur.

How sync works

1. Initial sync — all files in the selected folder are downloaded and processed

2. Incremental sync — on subsequent runs, only new or modified files are processed

3. Processing — each file goes through the same pipeline as manual uploads (parse → chunk → embed → index)

Sync runs can be triggered manually with the Sync Folder button or scheduled to run automatically.

Managing synced files

Synced files appear in the Library alongside manually uploaded documents. They're tagged with their cloud source for easy identification.

To stop syncing:

1. Go to the cloud provider section

2. Click Back to Root to navigate folders

3. Click Disconnect or select a different folder

Disconnecting a cloud sync does not delete already-processed documents. They remain in your knowledge base until manually removed.
