+
+## Your Google Drive source
+
+Your Google Drive source is stores in your project's working directory as a folder. Within the folder will be all the files which have automatically "pulled".
+
+Currently, only **non-native** files such as images, pdfs and data files get pulled down. Any **google formats** such as Google Docs, Google Sheets, Google Slides etc do not currently get pulled down. You can pull [Google Docs](./Google-Docs-Source.md) individually. We are working to correct this issue https://github.com/stencila/hub/issues/771.
