Advanced Settings¶

Advanced settings live in the Google Client app, on their own screen, grouped into four tabs. Every one of them is optional.

A freshly installed package behaves exactly as documented without any of them being set, and leaving a field blank always means "use the default" — never "unset" or "broken". The same is true after an upgrade: a setting added in a new release starts out blank and keeps the behavior you already had until you choose otherwise.

Opening Them¶

Open the Google Client app from the App Launcher
Go to the Home page
Select Advanced

Advanced settings tabs

The Four Tabs¶

File Management

Preview, upload transport, file size, deletion behavior, and the domain that public links are restricted to.
User Interface

Which columns appear in File Explorer, in what order, including your own fields.
AI Intelligence

Turn File Intelligence on, and control the prompts and answer length used for summaries and questions.
Safety & Customization

How strictly AI questions and answers are inspected, and how to replace that inspection with your own.

Looking for Something Else?¶

A few settings people expect to find here live elsewhere, because they belong to a setup step rather than to fine-tuning:

Folder Structure — organizing uploads in Drive by user, by record, or both
Multiple Upload Folders — adding fallback destinations for when a drive fills up
Configure Google Workspace — the service account, the certificate, the upload folder, and the custom authorizer class
Configure AI & Intelligence — connecting Gemini or the Agent Platform
