    On the Data Storespage, click your data store name to see the status. After the data store state changes from Creatingto Active, the Microsoft OneDrive connector is ready to be used.

    For an ingestion connector created with Microsoft OneDrive, the data store state transitions from Creatingto Runningupon synchronization initiation. It then changes to Activeonce ingestion is complete, signifying that the data store is fully configured. Depending on data volume, ingestion may require several hours.

    After creating the data store, create an app , connect it to the Microsoft OneDrive data store , and authorize Gemini Enterprise to access Microsoft OneDrive before executing any queries.

    Enable real-time sync for data ingestion

    To enable real-time sync for your data store, follow these steps.

    1. In the Google Cloud console, go to the Gemini Enterprisepage.

      Gemini Enterprise

    2. In the navigation menu, click Data Stores.

    Data handling and query execution

    This section describes how Gemini Enterprise manages your query and the privacy implications of using the federated data store.

    Query execution

    After you authorize Microsoft OneDrive and send a search query to Gemini Enterprise:

    • Gemini Enterprise sends your search query directly to the Microsoft API.
    • Gemini Enterprise blends the results with those from other connected data sources and displays a comprehensive search result.

    Data handling

    When using third-party federated search, the following data handling rules apply:

    • Your query string is sent to the third-party search backend (Microsoft API).
    • These third parties may associate queries with your identity.
    • If multiple federated search data sources are enabled, the query might be sent to all of them.
    • Once the data reaches the third-party system, it is governed by that system's terms of service and privacy policies.
