Google Drive

Allows agents and workflows to browse and read files from Google Drive.

Quick Connection​

To create, simply press Add Connection, select Google Drive, and the page will automatically redirect to Google login. After logging in, the account is linked.

Settings​

  1. In Connections, choose Add Connection and select Google Drive.
  2. Log in via Google OAuth and grant access to Drive.
  3. Set whether the connection should be Shared or Private and save.

Usage​

  • In parameters or workflow steps, use the Connection to load files, folders, or metadata.
  • Share only the necessary drives/folders with the connected Google account to limit the scope of access.

Tips​

  • Upon expiration or change of scope, reauthorize the Connection.
  • Enable audit logs to monitor access to files.

Technical Notes​

  • Implementation: The connection exposes Drive file discovery and content extraction.
  • Authentication/scopes: requests https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.readonly; Drive sharing rules determine which files the connected account can access.
  • Functions: list files and read/export supported file content.
  • Write behavior: the current Drive tool surface is read-only. It is still sensitive because it can expose file contents to an agent context.
