Google Drive + Querri

Reporting on Google Drive files,without copying a single tab.

Pick the workbooks and exports your team keeps in Drive, and ask about all of them at once. Querri reads every tab of each Google Sheet, re-reads the files on a schedule and answers with your own definitions.

Querri opens only the files you pick, and only reads them. It never sees your Google password. SOC 2 Type II, HIPAA and ISO 27001:2022 certified.

Why Google Drive reporting gets hard

Drive keeps the files. Nobody keeps the numbers together.

Teams that run on spreadsheets hit the same walls every month. Drive does its job, which is storing and sharing files; reporting across forty of them was never part of it.

01

The answer is spread across forty files

Each region, client or month gets its own workbook, plus a "final_v3" copy someone made in a hurry. A question about the whole business starts with finding which files count.

02

Linking sheets is fragile

IMPORTRANGE caps each request at 10MB of data and checks for updates hourly, and only while the sheet is open. Chain a few together and the totals lag or stop loading.

03

A year of history outgrows the sheet

A Google Sheet holds up to 20 million cells. Stack every monthly export into one master tab and it gets slow long before then, so history ends up split across old copies.

04

Sharing is all or nothing

Anyone who can open a sheet can see every tab: Google says viewers can still reach hidden sheets, and protected ranges aren't a security measure. So teams keep one copy per manager, by hand.

05

Every month the layout moves

A new column in the export, a renamed tab, two title rows instead of one. Pivots and lookups break quietly, and someone spends the morning working out why the total changed.

What you can finally answer

Eight questions about your Drive files that used to mean a long afternoon

Each is a request finance, operations and agency teams make about the files in their Drive, why it eats time today, and what Querri does instead.

Can I get one P&L out of twelve regional workbooks without copying tabs?

Why it's hard

Every region's workbook has title rows, notes beside the table and a tab per month, so the roll-up is a day of copy, paste and check.

With Querri

Pick the Sheets in Google's file picker. Every tab comes in as its own table, and the results land together in the Library, where tidying title rows and notes is a request rather than a copy-and-paste job. The roll-up can go back out as a formatted workbook.

Which numbers moved since last month's file?

Why it's hard

A spreadsheet shows this month. Last month lives in version history or a copy with a date in its name, and comparing the two means two windows and a calculator.

With Querri

Name the numbers that matter as KPIs. Each sync adds a data point, so last month sits next to this month without a dated copy, and Nightly insights flags the store, client or line that moved outside its usual range.

How does the budget sheet compare to actuals in QuickBooks?

Why it's hard

The budget is a Google Sheet with account names someone typed; actuals come from an accounting export with different names. Matching them is a monthly VLOOKUP that breaks on one renamed line.

With Querri

Connect the budget from Drive and QuickBooks. Tell Querri once which budget line maps to which account in Facts & rules, and every variance answer after that uses the same mapping.

Why don't the totals match between our files?

Why it's hard

One file spells the customer "Acme Co.", another "ACME"; one stores amounts as text, another writes "N/A" in a number column. The sums disagree and nobody knows which is right.

With Querri

Before it answers, Querri measures the columns: one customer spelled four ways, amounts stored as text, "N/A" sitting where a number belongs. A value that doesn't fit is kept, not deleted, and the answer notes which cleanup choices changed the total. See data cleansing and trusted answers.

Can each branch manager see only their branch's numbers?

Why it's hard

Sheets shares the whole file. To keep one branch from seeing another, someone maintains a separate copy per manager and re-pastes them every week.

With Querri

Keep one source in Drive. In Workspaces & access, give each manager a row filter once; their branch is all they see in chat, in dashboards, through Claude and through the API.

Can the Monday Excel pack build itself from what's in Drive?

Why it's hard

Someone opens the latest exports, pastes them into the template, refreshes the pivots, fixes the formatting and emails it out. Miss a Monday and nobody has numbers.

With Querri

Turn the pack into a project one time. Each Monday the schedule runs it against the latest sync of those Drive files and emails a formatted Excel workbook, split into one version per manager or client if you want. See reports and automation.

Which ad channels actually turn into customers?

Why it's hard

Ad platform exports land in Drive every week, each with its own column names, while leads and deals sit in the CRM. Joining them is a spreadsheet nobody wants to own.

With Querri

Bring the exports in from Drive next to HubSpot, and save the way you attribute spend as a skill so the next person runs the same method. The channel-to-revenue playbook shows the steps.

Can I ask Claude or ChatGPT about our Drive files and get the dashboard's answer?

Why it's hard

Upload a spreadsheet to a chat assistant and you get an answer about that file, that once. The next person uploads a different version and gets a different number.

With Querri

Link Querri to Claude or ChatGPT one time. Instead of whatever file someone uploaded, the assistant reads the synced Drive files in your Library, applies your rules and respects each person's access, just as chat in Querri does.

Google Drive plus the rest

Your spreadsheets hold half the story

The budget, the order log and the client tracker live in Drive. The invoices, deals and transactions live in systems. Querri brings both into one Library, so a question doesn't stop where the spreadsheet does.

Google Drive pairs well with

The Google Drive connector in Querri, with its sync schedule settings open: Full Refresh, daily at a set time
The Google Drive connector in Querri, with its sync schedule: a full refresh every day at the time you choose.

Answers you can stand behind

"September sales" has two fair answers. Querri shows both and names its pick.

"September sales" can mean the rows dated September, or everything in the file called September, which often carries a few late August orders. Both are reasonable, and they differ. Querri answers with one, names it and shows the other, so nobody is quietly off by a few days of revenue. See how answers work.

Wake up to what changed

Each morning, a note on what moved in your files

Overnight, Querri measures your KPIs against their own past, store by store and client by client, and goes looking for changes no one asked about. What it finds is in your Inbox when you start the day; it acts on nothing until you say so.

Custom Google Drive dashboards

Dashboards that read every file, not one tab

Describe the dashboard you want, or start from a screenshot of the one your team already looks at. It reads across all the files you've picked, refreshes when they sync, and changes when you ask. Each manager can be limited to their own rows.

  • Built by asking, changed by asking
  • Drive files next to your CRM, accounting and warehouse
  • One source, with rows limited per person
Every change is a sentence: one request turns the dashboard dark, and a single click takes it back.

Reports you can stop rebuilding

Six reports teams build from Drive files, built once

What comes over

The files you pick, read all the way through

Querri syncs the files you choose in Google's picker and pulls the tables out of each one, every tab included. It can't browse, list or search the rest of your Drive.

File types it reads

  • Google Sheets, every tab
  • Excel (.xlsx)
  • Excel (.xls)
  • CSV
  • Text files
  • JSON
  • Parquet
  • Plus every tab of a Google Sheet, each as its own table

Refreshed on your schedule

Each sync is a full refresh, daily, weekly or monthly, or by hand whenever you want. Every file is read again in full, so rows deleted from it disappear in Querri too.

Built for real workbooks

Each tab of a Google Sheet becomes its own table, with the first row as the header. An Excel file picked from Drive brings in its first sheet. Google Docs, Slides and PDFs aren't read through the Drive connector.

Read only

Querri never changes your files on its own. It writes to Drive only when you export a result, and only to the place you choose.

Only the files you pick

You sign in with Google and grant the drive.file scope, which covers only the files you choose. Querri never sees your Google password.

Google Drive FAQ

Questions about Google Drive and Querri

How do I connect Google Drive to Querri?

Ask the Connector Agent in Querri's Connect page to connect Google Drive, or choose it in the catalog. You sign in through Google, select files in Google's own picker, and approve the first load and a schedule. Your Google password never reaches Querri.

Which Google Drive files can Querri read?

CSV and text files, Excel workbooks (.xlsx and .xls), JSON, Parquet and Google Sheets. Every tab of a Google Sheet comes over as its own table; an Excel file picked from Drive brings in its first sheet. Google Docs, Google Slides and PDFs aren't supported through the Drive connector.

Can Querri see everything in my Google Drive?

No. Querri uses Google's drive.file scope, so it can open only the files you choose in Google's own file picker. It can't browse, list or search the rest of your Drive, and a file you never picked stays invisible to it.

How often does Google Drive data sync?

Each Google Drive connection runs a full refresh daily, weekly or monthly, and you can sync by hand at any time. There's no incremental mode: every sync reads the picked files again in full, so edits and deleted rows show up after the next sync.

Does Querri change the files in my Google Drive?

No. Querri only reads your files and never changes them on its own. It writes to Drive only when you choose to export a project's results, as CSV, Excel, Parquet, PNG or SVG, and only to the place you pick.

How do Google Drive sharing permissions carry over to Querri?

They don't carry over file by file. Querri can open only the files the connected Google account picked. Inside Querri, who sees which rows is set by Querri's own sharing and row-level access, so connect with an account that holds the files you want, then set access in Querri.

Does Querri pick up new files I add to a Drive folder?

Not on its own. Because Querri can open only files you've picked, a new file needs to be picked in the file picker once. Files you've already picked are read again on every sync, so changes inside them come through automatically.

Is there a separate Google Sheets connector?

No. Google Sheets come in through the Google Drive connector, with every tab kept as its own table. The Google Sheets page covers what that means for teams that live in Sheets.

How do I combine Google Drive spreadsheets with QuickBooks data?

Connect both, and Querri brings the spreadsheet and the QuickBooks data into the same Library. Tell it once how budget lines map to accounts, or how a customer in the sheet matches one in QuickBooks, and every answer and report uses that mapping.

How do I combine Google Drive files with Salesforce or HubSpot?

Connect the CRM next to Drive, and Querri joins the quota sheet, territory plan or ad platform export to the CRM records, matched on account, rep or email. When a match could be wrong, for example a name spelled two ways, the answer says so.

How do I get a budget vs. actual report from a Google Sheet?

Connect the budget sheet from Drive and the system that holds actuals, such as QuickBooks or NetSuite. Define the variance as a KPI, and Querri measures it on every sync and keeps its history, so month-over-month changes are a question rather than a rebuild.

How do I get one P&L from several Excel workbooks in Google Drive?

Keep them as Google Sheets, or upload the Excel files, and pick them all. Each tab comes in as a table, and the Library combines them into one view you can ask about. Ask for the roll-up, and it can come back as a formatted Excel workbook.

Can I export Google Drive data to Excel automatically?

Yes. Turn the report into a project and put it on a schedule. Every run uses the most recent sync of your Drive files and emails a formatted Excel workbook, either one shared copy or a separate copy for each manager or client, with only their rows.

Can I build custom dashboards from Google Drive files?

Yes. Describe what you want to see, or paste a screenshot of a dashboard your team already relies on, then adjust it in plain words. One dashboard can draw on every picked file plus your other connected systems, with rows limited per person.

Can I ask ChatGPT or Claude about my Google Drive data?

Yes. Once Querri is linked to Claude or ChatGPT, the assistant works from the Drive files synced into your Library rather than a one-off upload, with your definitions applied and each person's Querri access respected, so its numbers agree with your dashboards.

My spreadsheets are messy. Will Querri still read them?

Usually, yes. Each tab is read with its first row as the header. If a tab has title rows or several tables on it, ask in the Library to tidy it, or upload the Excel file, where Querri's workbook reader handles those layouts. Answers say what was cleaned.

Can each person see only their own rows from a shared spreadsheet?

Yes. Keep one spreadsheet in Drive and set a row filter per person in Querri once. The filter follows that person into chat, dashboards, Claude, ChatGPT and the API, so you no longer need a separate copy of the file for each manager.

Is my Google Drive data secure in Querri?

Querri is SOC 2 Type II, HIPAA and ISO 27001:2022 certified, and your data is never used to train a model. You sign in through Google, Querri sees only the files you pick, and the Connector Agent never handles your password.
