# Create a Google Drive Unstructured Data Lake Object

Create an Unstructured Data Lake Object (UDLO) in Data 360 to ingest your organization's content from Google Drive into Data 360.

The data stream ingests data from your selected repositories into a UDLO and maps it to an Unstructured Data Map Object (UDMO). Data 360 uses the UDMO to create a search index and uses it to ground AI-generated responses.

See the [Unstructured Data File Formats and Connectors](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=data.c360\_a_unstructured_data_connect.htm\&type=5&\_ga=2.128103692.1077098513.1773668412-1113680942.1770654531) for a list of supported file formats.

| To connect unstructured data: | Data Cloud Architect |

Before you begin:

- Set Up a [Google Drive Unstructured Connection](https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/data/data-cloud-int/guide/c360-a-set-up-googledrive-unstructured-connection.md).
- You need the Drive ID for the shared Google Drive that contains the files to ingest.

1. From the **App Launcher**, select **Data Cloud**.

2. Click **Data Lake Objects** and then click **New**.

3. Select the **From External Files** tile, and click **Next**.

4. From the New Data Lake Object screen, select **Google Drive Unstructured Data** and click **Next**.

5. From the **Select connection** dropdown list, choose available connections. Data 360 auto-populates the source based on the connection that you select.

6. Enter the Shared Drive ID to ingest data for a specific shared drive, or select all accessible shared drives from your Google Workspace.

7. Add an Object Name and an Object API Name for the UDLO. See [Data Lake Object Naming Standards](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=data.c360\_a_data_lake_object_naming.htm\&type=5).

8. From the Data Space dropdown list, select a data space in which to create the new UDMO or a data space from which to select an existing UDMO.

9. Map the UDLO to a UDMO.

   - To create a new UDMO, click **New**.
   - To use an existing UDMO, click **Existing**, and select a UDMO from the list.

10. Optionally, leave the checkbox selected to create a search index configuration for the UDMO using system defaults that automatically selects text fields and a chunking strategy for each field. You can deselect the checkbox and create a search index configuration later if you choose not to do so now.

11. Select the checkbox to enable [Content Harmonization](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=data.c360\_a_harmonize_content_for_consistent_viewing.htm) for the UDLO. Leave it deselected to enable content harmonization later.

    :::note
    If you enable content harmonization now, AI Enrichments (Summary and Q\&A) are disabled by default. To enable AI Enrichments, create a [Harmonization Configuration](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=data.c360\_a_unstructured_content_harmonization.htm) **and** enable [Einstein](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=ai.generative_ai_enable.htm).
    :::

    :::note
    When you enable content harmonization, you enable collection of [Content Viewer engagement data](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=data.c360\_a_content_viewer_user_engagement_insights.htm\&type=5).
    :::

12. Click **Next**, or if you created a search index configuration, review the details.

13. **Save** your work.

The connector begins to ingest your content. The ingestion process takes several minutes and the length of time depends on the size and number of the Google Drive assets you’re ingesting. See the [Monitoring](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=data.c360\_a_monitor_the_status_of_unstructured_connectors_data_ingestion.htm\&type=5) guide for checking the ingestion progress.
