The key feature of the integration isn't the thumbnail, but that Slack indexes your Google Drive files so they show up in search. That is absolutely worth it IMO.

That's similarly bad, though, at times.

If I search "Draft performance improvement plan for ceejayoz" and a document I don't have access to comes back, that's a fairly significant data leak.

Except that’s not how it works. Your search results only include the documents you have access to.

The search you experience runs against permissions so something like that doesn't happen.

I suppose by this you mean that you do work at Slack, but that's not really a disclaimer, is it? More of a "claimer".

[SoftTalker]

The proper word here is "disclosure" not "disclaimer." I see this mistake all the time.

[ceejayoz]

If Slack is already checking those permissions, fixing the thumbnail issue should be fairly straightforward, yes?

Does that mean Slack has implemented, correctly, Gmail’s complicated permission model? Glad I’ve never enabled that integration.

It probably just uses Google drive search API and includes the results into slack's own results.
