Granting AI access to chosen files rather than an entire cloud drive
DiskDrive is the persistence layer, not the model or app itself. It gives a person with files in Google Drive who wants AI portability a separate place for finished files, structured records, and explicit memories that should outlive one session. Each connected AI receives its own authorization and only the scopes the user approves.
An honest boundary
Connection does not mean unlimited access
An API or MCP pathway is only the technical beginning. A real connector still needs authentication, tenant isolation, permission checks, audit events, rate limits, and revocation. DiskDrive does not claim an app is connected merely because its name appears in this research library.
A believable everyday use
What this could look like in practice
Elliot keeps household documents in Google Drive but wants several assistants to use one selected folder. A reviewed connector could import or reference only those files in DiskDrive, where each AI receives its own narrower permission.
1
Choose what is durable. Save finished source material, reviewed records, or a fact the user explicitly wants remembered—not an entire private conversation by default.
2
Authorize separately. Give this client the narrow read, search, or write permissions it needs. Write access never silently implies delete access.
3
Keep provenance. Preserve who created an item, where it came from, and what later corrected or superseded it.
