Recipe Create Shared Drive

The recipe-create-shared-drive skill enables AI agents to programmatically create new shared Google Drive folders within a specific domain. It automates the setup of collaborative storage spaces, ensuring proper sharing permissions are applied immediately upon creation.

When to use it

• Automatically provision a dedicated project folder for a new team initiative without manual admin intervention.
• Set up isolated storage environments for sensitive data that requires restricted access controls from the start.
• Trigger folder creation as part of an automated onboarding workflow when a new user joins the organization.
• Generate temporary collaboration spaces for external partners with predefined expiration or permission settings.

Key capabilities

• Creates shared Google Drive folders programmatically via API.
• Configures sharing settings and access permissions during the creation process.
• Integrates directly with Google Workspace CLI environments.

Example prompts

• "Create a new shared drive named 'Q4 Marketing Assets' for our marketing team."
• "Set up a secure folder called 'Client Confidential' with restricted editing permissions for the legal department."
• "Provision a temporary workspace for the upcoming product launch meeting and share it with the stakeholders list."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure your AI agent has the necessary OAuth scopes to create shared drives, as this action requires elevated administrative privileges within Google Workspace. Verify that the target domain allows programmatic drive creation before attempting execution.
