Changelog Entry

Description

This PR introduces Google Drive folder synchronization for Open WebUI's knowledge base system. Users can now sync entire Google Drive folders (including nested folders) with their knowledge bases, with automatic periodic synchronization. The implementation uses Google Drive service account authentication for secure server-side access without requiring OAuth flows.

Added

  • Google Drive folder synchronization service with automatic background scheduling
  • New API endpoints for Google Drive sync operations:
    • GET /knowledge/google-drive/service-account-email
    • POST /knowledge/{id}/google-drive/sync
  • Google Drive sync modal UI component with two-step configuration wizard
  • Support for synchronizing nested folders recursively
  • Configurable sync intervals (1-3 days in production, minutes in development)

Changed

  • Updated knowledge base API to support Google Drive metadata and sync operations
  • Add Content menu with Google Drive folder sync option
  • Added Google Drive specific types and interfaces
  • Updated package dependencies to include Google API client libraries

Notes

I'm not sure the about the contributing flow whether I should also create PR in the docs repository while this open or not. I will create the changes in that repo after getting insight on how things usually goes on this PR.

Additional Information

Opened discussion is here: https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/discussions/14257. I think few people including myself needs this features those I created here.

  • The implementation uses Google Drive service accounts which requires users to share their folders with the service account email
  • Sync intervals are configurable: 1-3 days in production mode, or minutes in development mode
  • The feature is controlled by the ENABLE_GOOGLE_DRIVE_FOLDER_SYNC environment variable
  • Google Workspace documents are automatically exported to compatible formats during sync
  • Files removed from Google Drive are automatically removed from the knowledge base during sync
  • Additionally Add Configurable Option for Set up DRIVE_ID and DRIVE_SECRET via Settings UI
