Connections
Bring files in from an account elsewhere. Google Drive is the one you can connect today.
Benchy sees only the files you pick, never the rest of the account.
Connect Google Drive
Open Profile from the account menu, go to Connections, choose Connect beside Google Drive, and sign in to Google. Each connection shows the Google account it uses.
Pick files in a chat
In a chat, choose +, then Add from Google Drive. Google's own picker opens, with My Drive, Shared with me and Shared drives; the first time, you sign in to Google there.
Picking a file copies it into your private My files and attaches it to your message. Picking it again reuses your copy unless the original has changed. Open in Google Drive on the copy goes back to the original.
A Google Drive link in a message doesn't bring the file in; Benchy only gets files you choose in the picker. Drop a link on the message box and the picker opens on it.
What comes in
Google Docs come in as Markdown, Google Drawings as PNG, a Google Sheet as its first sheet in CSV, and Google Slides as the slides' text. Images, text, Markdown, CSV and JSON come in as they are. PDFs and Word, Excel and PowerPoint files aren't in the picker — add those from your device.
Keeping a copy current
A copy keeps a link to its original, so your work doesn't break if the original changes, moves or disappears. Nothing updates on its own: Update on the copy takes the newer version, or says nothing has changed and writes nothing. See Files and versions.
Who can use a connection
A connection is yours alone. Only you pick files through it, in your browser — not the workspace owner, an agent, an API key or a connected app.
If you remove Benchy under your Google account's third-party access, Benchy offers to connect again the next time you pick files.
Disconnect
Disconnect from Connections: Benchy forgets its access and asks Google to revoke it. Files already copied in stay; only new picking stops.
Models on other sites
Benchy never signs in to Thangs, MakerWorld, Printables or Cults for you. To move your shop to World, download your models from your account there, then ask your agent to use the Move your shop to Benchy skill. It reads your public listing pages for titles, descriptions, tags and prices, records where each model came from, and uploads your files as private listings. You confirm the prices, licenses and membership plans, and nothing is public until you say so.
