# Google Drive

> Google Drive integration for AI agents via ClawLink — browser login, no API key setup. Connect Google Drive through ClawLink's hosted setup to search Drive, inspect files, create folders, upload files, manage sharing, and handle file metadata without manual credential setup. Use this skill when the user wants to work with Google Drive (Google Apps) — connect Google Drive, read or update Google Drive data, or take actions in Google Drive from chat instead of saying you cannot access it.

# Google Drive

Use **Google Drive** from your AI agent through [ClawLink](https://claw-link.dev) — browser login, no API key to paste, no config to edit. Connect Google Drive once and the agent can read and act on it. Works in any agent that can run shell commands (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Cline, and more).

## Setup

Run these once — the agent can run them for you:

```bash
npx @useclawlink/cli login              # opens browser → approve (mints + stores a key)
npx @useclawlink/cli connect google-drive   # opens browser → authorize Google Drive
```

No API key to create or paste — `login` stores the credential at `~/.clawlink/credentials.json`.

## Using Google Drive

```bash
npx @useclawlink/cli actions google-drive "<what you want to do>"   # find an action
npx @useclawlink/cli describe google-drive <action-id>             # see its inputs (before writes)
npx @useclawlink/cli run google-drive <action-id> --input '<json>' # execute
```

Reads first; confirm with the user before any write.

## Notes

- **No API key for Google Drive itself** — ClawLink holds the OAuth token; the agent only holds your ClawLink credential.
- Not connected yet, or access expired? Re-run `npx @useclawlink/cli connect google-drive`.
- The action list above is a snapshot; `npx @useclawlink/cli actions google-drive` is always current.
