Private file access
How to Connect AI to Private Files Securely
Connect a compatible AI to selected private files using browser authorization, narrow scopes, audit history, and revocation.
An everyday example
Give an AI a key to one job—not ownership of the building
A small-business owner lets an assistant read approved policy documents but not upload or delete anything. She can see the connection and its activity, then revoke it after the policy review is complete.
- 1
Check compatibility. Confirm the AI host supports DiskDrive’s remote MCP and OAuth flow.
- 2
Approve narrowly. Review the requested scopes in the DiskDrive authorization screen.
- 3
Stay in control. Review activity and disconnect the client whenever the work is done.
Plain answers
What to know before connecting an AI
Does connecting an AI expose my whole archive?
No. Scopes distinguish listing, reading, searching, writing, and other actions. A connection should receive the minimum useful set.
How do I stop an AI from accessing my files?
Disconnect that AI from the dashboard. Its authorization stops without deleting your archive or breaking other AI connections.
