Recipe Share Folder With Team

What it does

This skill enables AI agents to share Google Drive folders with specific team members or groups directly through command-line execution. It automates the permission management process, ensuring collaborative teams have immediate access to shared resources without manual intervention.

When to use it

• Onboarding new team members who require instant access to project documentation and assets.
• Distributing finalized deliverables to stakeholders for review or approval.
• Setting up temporary access windows for external consultants or contractors.
• Automating routine folder distribution across multiple departments within an organization.

Key capabilities

• Identifies specific Google Drive folders by name or ID.
• Grants read, write, or comment permissions to designated users or groups.
• Executes via the googleworkspace/cli tool for scriptable automation.
• Integrates directly into CI/CD pipelines or scheduled agent workflows.

Example prompts

• "Share the 'Q4 Marketing Assets' folder with the marketing team group and set their permission to editor."
• "Grant view-only access to the 'Client Contracts' folder for the legal department."
• "Automatically share the new project workspace folder with all members listed in the current Jira ticket."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure your AI agent has the necessary OAuth scopes configured within the googleworkspace/cli environment to modify sharing settings. Be cautious when automating broad sharing actions, as incorrect permissions can inadvertently expose sensitive data to unintended recipients.
