+### Google Drive: scoped sync by default
+
+New Google Drive connections default to **folder and file** scope: after OAuth, users complete a hosted picker; only selected items sync. Set `metadata.syncScope` to `"full"` on connection creation to sync the entire Drive without the picker. Scoped connections without a saved selection are skipped by import jobs until setup is finished.

 Connect Google Drive to sync documents into your Supermemory knowledge base with OAuth authentication and custom app support.
 
+## Sync scope
+
+**Default for new connections:** after OAuth, the user completes a **folder and file** picker (Google Docs, Sheets, Slides, and PDFs). Only items they select are synced and updated until they change the selection (for example from the Supermemory console).
+
+**Whole Drive:** set `metadata.syncScope` to `"full"` when creating the connection so the entire Drive syncs without the picker.
+
+**Explicit scoped mode:** set `metadata.syncScope` to `"selected"` for the picker flow, or rely on the default for new connects.
+
+<Note>
+If you use scoped sync and the user has not finished the picker yet, **scheduled or manual import may skip that connection** until a selection is saved on the connection.

 ### 2. Handle OAuth Callback
 
-After user grants permissions, Google redirects to your callback URL. The connection is automatically established.
+After the user grants permissions, Google redirects through Supermemory to finish the connection. With **scoped** sync (`syncScope` omitted or `"selected"`), the user is sent to Supermemory’s **hosted file and folder picker**; they must complete that step before imports run. With **`syncScope: "full"`**, Supermemory redirects to your `redirectUrl` (or returns connection details) **without** the picker. You can open the picker again later for an existing connection (Supermemory console, or `POST /v3/connections/{connectionId}/google-drive/hosted-picker` with an authenticated admin session).
 
 ### 3. Check Connection Status
