​
Overview

The Drive AI integrates with Microsoft Teams to automatically capture and organize files shared across your Teams channels. Important documents shared during conversations are automatically imported and organized in your Drive AI workspace.

​
How It Works

Once connected, The Drive AI monitors your Teams channels for shared files:
  1. A file is shared in a Teams channel or chat
  2. The Drive AI detects the file automatically
  3. The file is imported to your workspace
  4. AI organizes the file into the appropriate folder based on its content
All of this happens in real time—no manual intervention required.

​

​
What Gets Imported

The Drive AI imports files shared in your connected Teams channels:
  • Documents: PDF, DOCX, DOC, TXT, RTF
  • Spreadsheets: XLSX, XLS, CSV
  • Presentations: PPTX, PPT
  • Images: PNG, JPG, GIF (Premium)
Only files shared in monitored channels are imported. Private chats are not monitored unless you explicitly enable them.

​
Organization

Imported Teams files are organized based on:
FactorExample
ContentInvoice detected → Finance folder
Channel contextShared in Engineering → Engineering folder
File typePresentation → relevant project folder
The AI uses both the file content and the Teams channel context to determine the best location for each file.
