Google Drive

Lightweight Google Drive integration with standalone OAuth authentication. No MCP server required. Full read/write access.

Requires Google Workspace account. Personal Gmail accounts are not supported.

When to Use

• You need to search, list, upload, download, move, or organize Google Drive files and folders.
• The task requires direct Drive read/write automation through local scripts in a Workspace account.
• You want file-level Drive operations without introducing an MCP server dependency.

python scripts/auth.py login

Check authentication status:

python scripts/auth.py status

Search Query Formats

The search command supports multiple query formats:

Format	Example	Description
Full-text	"quarterly report"	Searches file contents and names
Title	"title:budget"	Searches file names only
URL	https://drive.google.com/...	Extracts and uses file/folder ID
Folder ID	1ABC123...	Lists folder contents (25+ char IDs)
Native query	mimeType='application/pdf'	Pass-through Drive query syntax

File ID Format

Google Drive uses long IDs like 1ABC123xyz_-abc123. Get IDs from:

• search results
• find-folder results
• list results
• Google Drive URLs

Download Limitations

• Regular files (PDFs, images, etc.) download directly
• Google Docs/Sheets/Slides cannot be downloaded via this tool
• For Google Workspace files, use export or dedicated tools

Token Management

Tokens stored securely using the system keyring:

• macOS: Keychain
• Windows: Windows Credential Locker
• Linux: Secret Service API (GNOME Keyring, KDE Wallet, etc.)

Service name: google-drive-skill-oauth

Automatically refreshes expired tokens using Google's cloud function.
