For many teams, the real contract archive is a set of Google Drive folders that nobody has fully read in years. Connect Google Drive to Vallor so those legacy agreements become searchable, cited, and monitored, without moving a single file.
What lives in Google Drive
Google Drive is where contract files actually live for a lot of companies. Here is what Val reads across it.
| In Google Drive | Why it matters next to your contracts |
|---|---|
| Shared drives and folders | Index the folders where contracts are filed, including the deep ones people forget. |
| Google Docs and PDF files | Read native Docs and uploaded PDFs and extract terms from both. |
| File owners and permissions | See who owns each agreement and where access is broader than it should be. |
| Folder structure | Keep Val's organization aligned with how your team already files contracts. |
| File versions | Spot duplicate or superseded copies of the same agreement. |
What you can ask
Once Drive is connected, a pile of files becomes something you can question directly.
Which agreements in our Contracts drive auto-renew?
Val indexes the folder, extracts renewal language, and lists the agreements that renew on their own.
Where are all our NDAs across Drive?
Val finds every NDA no matter which folder it landed in and returns them in one view.
Which contracts in Drive have no clear owner?
Val flags agreements with no assigned owner so nothing goes unmanaged.
Are there duplicate versions of the same contract?
Val surfaces near-identical files so you know which copy is the executed one.
Connecting Google Drive
Google Drive connects through a pre-built connector in minutes, and your files stay exactly where they are. Vallor reads them in place, so there is no migration and no new folder to maintain.

FAQ
Does Vallor move our files out of Google Drive?
No. Your files stay in Drive. Vallor reads them in place, extracts terms, and keeps Drive as the folder your team already knows.
Can Vallor read both Google Docs and PDFs?
Yes. Val reads native Google Docs and uploaded PDFs, and extracts parties, dates, and obligations from either.
Will Vallor surface access problems?
Val can show which agreements have broad permissions or no clear owner, so sensitive contracts are not sitting open to everyone.
How long does the Google Drive connection take?
The connector is pre-built, so most teams connect Drive in minutes and can search their archive the same day.
