The Notion Google Drive integration lets you embed Docs, Sheets, Slides, and PDFs directly into your Notion pages. Once connected, your team accesses AI-powered document previews without leaving Notion, and changes made in Google Drive update automatically in the embed. No more copying links or downloading files.
You need a Google account with Drive access and admin permissions on your Notion workspace. The connection works on all Notion plans — Free, Plus, Business, and Enterprise. Setup takes under a minute, and every workspace member benefits from rich file previews once an admin completes the connection.
