Google Drive

by OpenAI

Overview

Connect Google Drive to Claude to search through your documents, read file contents, upload new files, and analyze your data. Claude can find specific documents even when you don't remember the exact name, read and analyze the content of Google Docs, Sheets, Slides, and PDFs, and upload files directly to your Drive. Useful for finding project notes, extracting data from spreadsheets, preparing meeting materials, or organizing files scattered across your Drive.

Tools

Google Drive tools

ChatGPT

Search and reference files from your Drive

batch_update_document

ChatGPT

Apply raw Google Docs batchUpdate requests to document content, not Drive file metadata.

batch_update_presentation

ChatGPT

Apply raw Google Slides batchUpdate requests to presentation content, not Drive file metadata.

batch_update_spreadsheet

ChatGPT

Apply raw Google Sheets batchUpdate requests to spreadsheet content, not Drive file metadata.

bulk_update_file_comments

ChatGPT

Create, reply to, and resolve Drive file comments in one bulk tool call. Before calling, inspect the file and decide on all intended comment updates for this file. Put top-level comments in comments, thread replies in replies, and resolved threads in resolutions. For each top-level comment, you must include enough location context for a reader to identify the exact target even if Google displays the Drive API comment as unanchored: use quoted_text with the exact sentence or phrase for Docs/text, use slide_number plus quoted_text when possible for Slides, and use sheet_cell_range with the sheet name and A1 cell/range for Sheets. Supports 1-20 total operations.

copy_file

ChatGPT

Copy a Drive file and return the URL of the new copy.

create_file

ChatGPT

Create a native Google Doc, Sheet, or Slide file.

create_folder

ChatGPT

Create a folder in Google Drive, optionally under a parent folder. parent_folder may be a Drive folder ID (e.g., "1A2B3C..."), a folder URL, or the literal string "root" to target the user's Drive root.

If text extraction is unsupported, the response falls back to raw file fields.

list_file_revisions

ChatGPT

List version-history revisions for a Google Drive file. The response includes previousRevisionId; pass that to fetch_file_revision to read the immediately previous version. When Google returns lastModifyingUser, use it as revision-level attribution while comparing revisions to identify when specific text first appeared.

list_folder

ChatGPT

List the items directly contained in a Google Drive folder. Accepted parameters are only url and top_k. For My Drive root, pass the literal root alias instead of a synthetic folder URL.

oai_user_fetch

ChatGPT

Uses mfetch to perform document fetch for link following and citations.

oai_user_search

ChatGPT

Uses synced RAG index to perform semantic search against query. The index is refreshed until (now - 2h).

recent_documents

ChatGPT

Return the most recently modified documents accessible to the user. Accepted parameters are only top_k and require_viewed_by_user. Set require_viewed_by_user=True to only return files the current user has viewed.

resolve_drives_for_admin

ChatGPT

Fetch names and URLs for shared drives using the administrator's connection. The invoker authorizes the private admin action and the caller's explicit link. Lookup does not change or rely on the content allowlist. Names are transient customer content, never tenant metadata. Supply at most 100 shared drive IDs; unavailable drives return an error for that ID.

search

ChatGPT

Search Google Drive files by query and return basic details. Accepted parameters are only query, topn, special_filter_query_str, best_effort_fetch, fetch_ttl, and require_viewed_by_user. Use clear, specific keywords such as project names, collaborators, or file types. Example: `"design doc pptx"

. When using query, each search query is an AND token match. Meaning, every token in the query is required to be present in order to match. - Search will return documents that contain all of the keywords in the query. - Therefore, queries should be short and keyword-focused (avoid long natural language). - If no results are found, try the following strategies: 1) Use different or related keywords. 2) Make the query more generic and simpler. - To improve recall, consider variants of your terms: abbreviations, synonyms, etc. - Previous search results can provide hints about useful variants of internal terms — use those to refine queries. Use

special_filter_query_str when you need precise MIME-type or metadata filters. It uses Google Drive v3 search (the q parameter). - Supported time fields: modifiedTime, createdTime, viewedByMeTime, sharedWithMeTime (ISO 8601, e.g., '2025-09-03T00:00:00'). - People/ownership filters: 'me' in owners, 'user@domain.com' in owners, 'user@domain.com' in writers, 'user@domain.com' in readers, sharedWithMe = true. - Type filters: mimeType = 'application/vnd.google-apps.document' (Docs), ...spreadsheet (Sheets), ...presentation (Slides), and mimeType != 'application/vnd.google-apps.folder' to exclude folders. or mimeType = 'application/vnd.google-apps.folder' to select folders. Set require_viewed_by_user=True to restrict results to files the current user has viewed. Do not pass unsupported fields like top_k, max_results, page_size, folder_url, query_type, user_message, recency_days, driveId, or include_shared_drives`.

search_spreadsheet_rows

ChatGPT

Search bounded spreadsheet rows containing a query string and return matching rows.

share_file

ChatGPT

Share a Drive file with a user or anyone at the company.

update_file

ChatGPT

Update an existing Drive file. Without file_uri, this updates metadata and parents only, including rename and move operations. With file_uri, this replaces the raw file bytes in place using Drive files.update upload semantics while preserving the same Drive file ID. Do not use Google Workspace MIME types with file_uri; native Docs/Sheets/Slides edits use their dedicated batch-update actions.

upload_file

ChatGPT

Upload a file reference as a new Google Drive file, not rename or move an existing file.
