Adding content ​

To add new content (dataset) to the My Content dashboard, select one of the two + Add Content buttons: one located in the top-right corner of the interface and the other positioned next to your datasets.

By using the documents and papers from our curated list of Integrated Collections:

  • Research Papers: A collection of freely available, peer-reviewed scientific publications covering various disciplines, ensuring broad access to cutting-edge research (selected by default).
  • Research Funding Applications: A repository of past and current grant proposals and funding applications, offering visibility into research priorities, awarded projects, and funding trends.
  • US Patents: A database of granted patents and applications from the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), providing insights into technological innovations and intellectual property trends.

You can find the “Add content” button either on the top right corner of the screen or next to your datasets. Click on “Add content” and choose document collection - now you can browse through your files. After you choose the file, click “Next” and write a title of your new dataset. When the dataset is created it should appear on the top of your dashboard. And there you go! That’s how you create a dataset with a document collection.

To parse your collection of .PDF, .DOC, .DOCX, .PPTX, .TXT, .HTML, .XLSX, .XLS files, please connect your cloud storage using our Cloud Connect integration. All cloud providers use OAuth delegated authentication for secure access.

Google Drive

  • Sign in with your Google account and grant access through OAuth.
  • You may import content only from folders (file-level links are not supported).
  • If the folder is shared from another Google account or organization, it must be shared with the Google account or organization you authenticate with during OAuth.
  • After authorization, you will be able to select the folder(s) to be parsed.

Dropbox

  • Sign in with your Dropbox account and grant access through OAuth.
  • Only folders can be used for document import (file-level links are not supported).
  • If using a shared folder, ensure the Dropbox account used for OAuth authentication has access to it.
  • After authorization, select the folder(s) from which documents should be parsed.

SharePoint

  • Sign in with your Microsoft account and grant access through OAuth.
  • Only SharePoint folder links are supported (no individual documents or non-folder links).
  • The folder must be accessible to the Microsoft account used during OAuth authentication (through organizational access or explicit sharing).
  • Once you provide the folder link, Iris.ai will retrieve and parse the documents inside.

General Rules (Apply to Google Drive, Dropbox & SharePoint) All cloud integrations follow the same processing rules:

  • Only folders are supported — document-level or file-level links cannot be imported.
  • Only English-language documents are accepted for parsing.
  • Supported file formats: PDF, DOC, DOCX, PPTX, TXT, HTML, XLSX, XLS.
  • Only documents that the authenticated OAuth account has access to — and that are located inside the selected/provided folders — can be imported.
  • Ensure the documents are present and accessible at the time of parsing.

When parsing documents through our cloud provider integrations (Google Drive and Dropbox), the following constraints apply:

  • Document and Volume size
    • Maximum number of documents: 10000
    • Average document length: Approximately 5 pages per document
    • Total file size limit: Must not exceed 5GB
  • Best Practices & Recommendations
    • For optimal performance, consider batch processing if dealing with large document sets.
    • If you encounter issues, contact support@iris.ai for assistance with optimizing document parsing.

You can find the “Add content” button either on the top right corner of the screen or next to your datasets. Click on “Add content” and choose Cloud Drive. Then, go to your Google Drive or Dropbox folder and click on sharing. Copy the access link and paste it in the tool. Then click “Next” and write a title for your new dataset. When the dataset is created it should appear on the top of your dashboard. And there you go! That’s how you create a dataset with a Cloud Drive.

You can utilize the References Import feature to parse reference collections from external reference management tools or from files stored locally on your computer:

  • By uploading a file (.csv, .bib, .nbib, .ris, .xml) with a max file size of 100 MB.
    • RSpace™ does not support .xls files within file collections for the time being. To ensure compatibility with RSpace™, users should convert .xls files into a supported format. Specifically, transform the .xls file into a tab-delimited .csv file (using \t as the delimiter), which can then be utilized within RSpace.
