Google Drive

What it does

This skill enables an AI agent to interact with your Google Drive files, allowing for file management, searching, and sharing capabilities. It facilitates accessing, managing, and retrieving data directly from your Google Drive account through a series of command-line scripts. The skill uses OAuth 2.0 for authentication and requires specific setup steps involving project creation and credential configuration within the Google Cloud Platform (GCP).

When to use it

• Retrieving files needed for analysis or reporting.
• Uploading documents generated by the AI agent back into a designated folder in Google Drive.
• Sharing files with collaborators via email, specifying their access role.
• Searching for specific file types (e.g., PDFs) within your Google Drive.
• Creating new folders to organize files programmatically.

Key capabilities

• File Management: List, get, download, upload, move, delete, and rename files in Google Drive.
• Search Functionality: Search for files by name, MIME type, or within a specific folder.
• Folder Creation & Listing: Create new folders and list the contents of existing ones.
• Sharing & Permissions: Share files with specified email addresses and roles (e.g., reader, writer), manage permissions, and view existing permission lists.
• Comments Management: List comments associated with a file.

Example prompts

• "List all PDF files in my 'Reports' folder."
• "Upload this document to Google Drive as 'Project Proposal'."
• "Share the file with ID 1234567890 with [email protected], giving them write access."
• “Create a new folder called ‘Archive’ in my root drive.”

Tips & gotchas

• Authentication Required: Setting up OAuth 2.0 authentication is essential before using the skill. Follow the GCP Project Setup Guide and Google OAuth Setup Guide for detailed instructions.
• Dependencies: Ensure all required Python dependencies (google-auth, google-auth-oauthlib, etc.) are installed using pip install --user ....
• Verification Step: Always run $SKILL_DIR /scripts/google-drive.py check after installation to verify the configuration and trigger the OAuth flow.
