Hello,
I’m on a ChatGPT Plus plan. The Google Drive connector worked perfectly for me until a few days ago. Since then, it still appears as connected in Settings, and even shows “Connected for Deep Research,” but in practice it no longer functions.
Here’s what’s happening:
-
Any attempt to search or reference Drive files now returns “no access” or empty results.
-
The UI still displays the connector as active, so it’s not a permissions or plan issue.
-
Disconnecting → Reconnecting doesn’t help; it re-authorises successfully, but the model still can’t see Drive contents.
-
Other users have reported the same pattern: the feature worked, then stopped, with no communication or changelog entry.
This suggests a backend rollback or service toggle, not a user-side or Google-side problem.
If connector access for Plus accounts has been paused or limited, please could we have an official confirmation or timeline?
Even a short note on the Help Pages or Status page would prevent hours of confusion for paying users who built workflows around this feature.
I rely on this connector for my research project, The Relational Ontology of Beingness — a corpus of over 1,400 interlinked documents (≈ 1.3 GB) that depends on Drive access for proper cross-referencing and analysis.
Thank you,
Will Smith
