Steps
Start the connection
Open your handyva.com dashboard, go to Connections and choose Google Drive. Or send “connect my Google Drive” to @HandyvaBot in Telegram and tap the button it sends.
Check it's your account
Our page shows the name of the Handyva account you're connecting to. Only continue if it's yours, then tap Continue.
Sign in to Google
Pick the Google account that holds your files.
Review and approve
Google shows that Handyva wants to see and download your Google Drive files. Tap Continue.
All set
You're sent back to handyva.com and Handyva confirms in Telegram that Google Drive is connected. Try asking it something straight away.
What Handyva can access
- Search your Drive and read files to answer your questions (read-only)
Handyva only uses this access to do what you ask, never shares it, and always shows you messages, replies and posts before they go out.
Disconnect
In Handyva: dashboard → Connections → Disconnect, or tell the bot “disconnect my account”. On the platform: Google Account → Security → Your connections to third-party apps & services → Handyva → Delete all connections.
Troubleshooting
The link says it has expired
Connect links last 15 minutes. Ask the bot again or start from the dashboard for a fresh one.
Google says the app isn't verified or isn't available
Some connections are still being approved by the platform. If you see this, message /human and we'll add you to early access.
Questions
Does Handyva see my password?
No. You sign in on Google's own page and Google gives Handyva a limited permission you can withdraw at any time.
Will Handyva send or post anything on its own?
No. Handyva always shows you the exact wording first and only sends, posts or replies after you say yes.
Can Handyva change or delete my files?
No. The Drive connection is read-only.
