Perplexity can access your business files when you connect them through a read-only OAuth integration like CorpusIQ. Connect Drive, OneDrive, or Dropbox once, and Perplexity can answer questions about your files in plain language with cited source links. Perplexity cannot rename, move, send, or delete anything; the connector is read-only by design. Files are read on demand, not stored on CorpusIQ servers.

Perplexity supports remote MCP server connections. CorpusIQ runs the MCP server, holds your read-only OAuth scopes per connector, and presents Drive, OneDrive, or Dropbox to Perplexity as a tool surface. Perplexity calls the tool on demand for each question.
Read-only OAuth means Perplexity can list, read, and quote from files you have authorized. It cannot modify, move, share, or delete files. It cannot create new files. Disconnect any connector in one click to revoke access.
Every answer Perplexity returns through CorpusIQ includes a cited source link pointing to the underlying file in its original cloud storage location. Click the link; the file opens in Drive, OneDrive, or Dropbox.
CorpusIQ does not store customer files. Files are read on demand to answer a question, then released. Customer data is not used to train any model. Perplexity's own data policy applies to the conversation; the connector adds the read-only and no-storage constraints on top.
