What types of Google accounts does this Google Drive skill support?

This skill is limited to Google Workspace accounts only; personal Gmail accounts are not supported.

How do I set up authentication for the Google Drive skill?

Run `python scripts/auth.py login` for first-time setup. The skill auto-authenticates on first use of `scripts/drive.py`, and you can also use `status` and `logout` subcommands to manage authentication.

Can I download Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides files with this skill?

No, native Google Docs/Sheets/Slides cannot be downloaded through this tool—they require export or a dedicated tool instead. Regular files like PDFs and images download directly.

What search query formats does the Google Drive skill accept?

The skill accepts five query formats: full-text search, title-only search (e.g. `title:budget`), Drive URLs (ID extracted automatically), folder IDs (25+ characters), and native Drive query syntax (e.g. `mimeType='application/pdf'`).

Where are authentication tokens stored?

Tokens are stored securely via the system keyring (macOS Keychain, Windows Credential Locker, or Linux Secret Service API) under the service name `google-drive-skill-oauth`, and refresh automatically when expired.

Overview

A Google Drive integration skill describing local scripts for OAuth authentication and file-level operations. The catalog copy includes command guidance but requires the original authentication and Drive scripts separately. Use it for Drive file automation with a Google Workspace account and available supporting scripts. Personal Gmail accounts and direct downloads of Google Docs, Sheets, or Slides are outside the documented support.

What it does

Google Drive Automation describes a lightweight integration for file-level operations through local scripts and standalone OAuth authentication. It supports searching, listing, uploading, downloading, moving, copying, renaming, organizing, and trashing Drive files and folders without requiring an MCP server. The integration requires a Google Workspace account; personal Gmail accounts are not supported.

Read operations include full-text search, title-only search, shared-with-me search, paginated results, exact-name folder lookup, and listing the root or a selected folder. Searches can accept a Google Drive URL and extract the file or folder identifier automatically. Native Drive query syntax is also supported, along with folder IDs for listing contents.

Write commands cover uploads to the root or a specified folder, custom upload names, folder creation with optional parents, moving files, copying with optional names and destinations, renaming files or folders, and sending a file to trash. These commands operate on supplied file and folder identifiers.

When to use - and when NOT to

Use the skill when an authorized Workspace workflow needs direct read/write file automation or file organization through local scripts. It is suitable when avoiding a separate MCP server dependency is useful. Confirm the relevant inputs, permissions, boundaries, and success criteria before proceeding.

The catalog copy does not include scripts/auth.py or scripts/drive.py, and its supporting-material notice gives no verified download source. Obtain original supporting material or an existing installation before attempting dependent steps. Inspect the files, resolve paths relative to that installation, and check applicable licensing and execution prerequisites. Missing scripts must not be fabricated or replaced with unrelated same-named files.

Regular files such as PDFs and images can be downloaded directly. Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides cannot be downloaded through this tool; Workspace-native files need export or dedicated tools.

Inputs and outputs

Inputs include a Workspace login, available scripts, search text or query syntax, and file or folder IDs for specific operations. Identifiers can come from search results, folder lookup, listing results, or Drive URLs. Outputs include search and listing results, downloaded regular files, and the requested file or folder changes.

First-time authentication opens a browser. The authentication script also supports status checks and logout; Drive operations can initiate authentication on first use. Check authentication status with:

python scripts/auth.py status

Integrations

OAuth tokens use the system keyring: macOS Keychain, Windows Credential Locker, or the Linux Secret Service API. The service name is google-drive-skill-oauth. Expired tokens refresh automatically through Google's cloud function. Actual workflows still require environment-specific validation and review.
