I'm looking into continuously ingesting a large amount of data from Google Drive (and a few other sources) into Elasticsearch to provide application search.

Would it make sense for this ingestion to be done as an Elastic Beat? I couldn't find a Beat, but I did see the community had built a River for it back in the day.

Hey Jared,

while you could probably write your own beat, I'd suggest you take a look at [Elastic Enterprise Search](https://www.elastic.co/products/enterprise-search), which features a google drive content source. That might help you already 🙂
