Google Certified Gemini University Student: Which document types and file formats can you upload to Google NotebookLM?

Which of the following data sources can be used in NotebookLM (select all which apply)

The correct answer includes all five choices:

  • Google Drive URLs
  • Web Pages
  • Google Docs
  • Copied Text
  • Microsoft Word .docx

NotebookLM features wide-ranging source integration to help you build highly tailored, grounded knowledge repositories. Instead of restricting your dashboard to native cloud formats, the application lets you fuse several information streams into a single workspace.

You can pull materials directly from cloud storage by selecting your Google Docs or pasting Google Drive URLs as sources. If your research lives outside the Google ecosystem, you can upload native local files like Microsoft Word .docx documents directly. For online research, pasting public Web Pages (URLs) allows the scraper to parse and ingest live web text. Finally, for miscellaneous snippets, emails, or personal logs, you can use the manual clipboard option to add raw Copied Text directly into a blank document card.
