Live integrations, not static imports.

Always in sync.
Connections are live data integrations, not one-time imports. When content changes in a connected app, it updates in Fabric. Depending on the connection, sync can be one-way (into Fabric) or two-way (changes flow both directions).

Searchable across everything.
Content from your connected apps becomes part of your Fabric workspace. That means it is searchable alongside your notes, files, and saved links. Find a Google Drive document, a Notion page, and a Fabric note in the same search query.

AI-ready.
Your AI assistant can access content from connected apps. Ask questions about a file in Dropbox, reference a Notion page, or search across your Gmail, all from one conversation.

One workspace for all your content.

Cloud storage.
Connect Google Drive and Dropbox to bring your cloud files into Fabric. Search, organize, and access them alongside everything else in your workspace without moving files between platforms.

Notes and knowledge.
Sync content from Notion into Fabric. Bring your existing notes, pages, and databases together in one searchable, AI-powered workspace.

Email.
Connect your Gmail account to search and access emails from inside Fabric. You can also send content directly to Fabric by emailing your Fabric address.

Screenshots.
Automatically sync screenshots from your iPhone or Android device into Fabric. Screenshots are indexed, searchable, and accessible to your AI assistant as soon as they sync.

Stop switching between apps.

The average person uses a dozen different tools to store and manage information. Documents in Google Drive, notes in Notion, emails in Gmail, files in Dropbox, code references on GitHub. Each one has its own search, its own organization system, and its own interface. Finding something means remembering which tool you put it in, opening that tool, and searching within it. If you cannot remember where you saved something, you end up searching across multiple apps until you find it.

Fabric's connections solve this by bringing content from all these tools into a single searchable workspace. You do not have to move your files out of Google Drive or stop using Notion. Connect them to Fabric and their content becomes part of your workspace. You can search across Google Drive, Dropbox, Notion, Gmail, and your Fabric files all at once. The AI assistant understands content from all connected sources, so you can ask it questions that span multiple tools.

Different connections, different capabilities.

Not all connections work the same way. Some support two-way sync, where changes in either Fabric or the connected app are reflected in both places. Others are one-way, bringing content into Fabric for search and reference. Some connections enable full AI-powered semantic search across your connected content, while others support keyword-based search. The capabilities depend on the connected service and what its APIs allow.

A few connections work differently from standard sync. Zapier acts more like a programmable automation layer, letting you trigger actions in Fabric based on events in thousands of other apps. Raycast functions as another client for your Fabric workspace, giving you quick access to your content from your desktop. And the MCP integration connects Fabric to AI coding tools like Cursor, Claude, and ChatGPT. For developers who want even more control, there is also a full REST API.

Your content stays where it is.

An important aspect of connections is that they do not require you to move your files. Your Google Drive documents stay in Google Drive. Your Notion pages stay in Notion. Fabric indexes and syncs the content so it is searchable and accessible alongside your Fabric-native files, but the originals remain where they are. This means you can start using Fabric without disrupting your existing workflows or asking your team to migrate away from tools they already use. Fabric works with your current setup rather than replacing it.

For people migrating from other tools or building a second brain that spans multiple services, connections are the foundation. Instead of consolidating everything into one tool and losing the strengths of each, you connect them all to Fabric and get unified search, AI assistance, and smart organization across everything. You can read more about this approach in why Fabric works with everything.

FAQ

How do I connect an app to Fabric?
Go to the connections marketplace, find the app you want to connect, and follow the authorization prompts. Most connections are set up in under a minute.

Does connecting an app move my files into Fabric?
No. Your files stay where they are. Fabric indexes and syncs the content so it is searchable and accessible alongside your Fabric-native content, but the originals remain in the connected app.

What is the difference between one-way and two-way sync?
One-way sync brings content from the connected app into Fabric for search and reference. Two-way sync means changes made in either Fabric or the connected app are reflected in both places. The type of sync depends on the specific connection.

Can my AI assistant access content from connected apps?
Yes. The AI assistant can search, read, and reason about content from all connected sources. You can ask questions that span multiple tools and get answers from your complete workspace.

Can I search across all connected apps at once?
Yes. Fabric's smart search works across all connected sources. A single query can return results from Google Drive, Dropbox, Notion, Gmail, and your Fabric-native content simultaneously.

What if I disconnect an app?
Disconnecting an app stops syncing new content. Previously synced content may remain in your workspace depending on the connection type. You can reconnect at any time to resume syncing.

Are connections available on all plans?
Basic connections are available on all plans. Some connections and advanced sync features may require Pro or Team plans. See pricing for details.

Can I connect apps that are not listed?
For apps not in the marketplace, you can use Zapier to create custom integrations with thousands of other services. Developers can also use the API or MCP to build custom connections.

Is my data secure when connecting external apps?
Yes. Connections use standard OAuth authentication, and all data is encrypted in transit and at rest. You can revoke access to any connected app at any time. Read more about Fabric's security practices in the privacy and security guide.

How often does connected content sync?
Sync frequency varies by connection. Some connections sync in near real-time, while others update periodically. Check the individual connection pages for specific sync details.
