These are your personal storage connections. Owners can also connect shared government data sources for the whole team; see Organization connections.
Set up a connection and import files
1
Open the Connections tab
Go to your Settings page and switch to the Connections tab. This is where you create new connections and manage existing ones.
2
Create and authorize the connection
Create a new connection and authorize Mesa to access the external account.
3
Import files from the connection
Go to the Files page, click Upload, and select your connection as the source.
4
Choose your documents
Select the files you want to bring into Mesa. Once imported, use them like any other file: organize them into folders, tag them in conversations, and share them.
Supported file formats
Mesa imports.docx and .xlsx files from connections. From Google Drive, it also imports native Google Workspace documents (Docs, Sheets, Slides, and Drawings), converting them to their Office or image equivalents on the way in, so you no longer have to convert them by hand first.
Use a connection in a conversation
Beyond importing files yourself, Mesa’s agent can browse, search, and import files from your connections during a research conversation. Ask it to pull in a document by name instead of importing it first, and any document it imports shows up inline in the conversation. Every active connection is available to the agent. To point it at one, pick the connection from the Sources button on the chat box; see Text editor. To stop the agent from reaching an account, remove the connection.Related articles
