ChatGPT keeps injecting random Google Drive files into conversations, user reports
BichonUnited · reddit · 2026-09-22
Reddit user BichonUnited reports that days after connecting Google Drive to ChatGPT (to auto-populate spreadsheets with calculations), the model started adding random items to conversations unprompted — two unrelated Google Sheets and an image he hadn't seen in five years, appearing while he was merely typing.
The concern: the files were never explicitly introduced, suggesting ChatGPT mapped his entire Drive, yet can't correctly serve the right personal files. He questions where the data goes if it can't even handle personal items properly — a heads-up for others with Drive integration enabled.
