Google Drive
In one line: Connect Google Drive so your UnleashX agent can search files, create and move them, manage folders and shared drives, and control sharing.
1. Overview
Google Drive is Google’s cloud file storage, holding documents, spreadsheets, forms, folders, and shared drives. Once connected, your UnleashX agent can search for files and folders, create files from text, copy/move/update files, upload and download, manage folders and shared drives, and set sharing permissions for people and teams. It can also watch for newly added files or spreadsheets. Connecting Google Drive to UnleashX makes file management hands-free: ask “find last month’s invoices and share the folder with finance” or “upload this report to the Q3 folder,” and the agent locates, organizes, and shares the right files for you.2. What you’ll need
1
A Google account with Drive
Any personal Google account or a Google Workspace account with Drive enabled.
2
Permission to grant access
You must be able to complete the Google sign-in and approve the requested permissions. Shared-drive actions may require team-membership rights.
3
An UnleashX agent
An agent in your UnleashX workspace where you’ll add the Drive connector.
No admin access? On a managed Google Workspace account, your admin may need to allow UnleashX, and some shared-drive operations may be restricted by your role.
3. Get your credentials
Google Drive uses Google OAuth 2.0. You do not create or paste an API key. UnleashX redirects you to Google, you sign in once, and Google issues an access token to UnleashX automatically.1
Start the connection in UnleashX
In your agent’s Data Connectors, find Google Drive and click Connect (see Section 4).
2
Sign in with Google
Choose the Google account whose Drive you want to connect.
3
Review and approve the requested scopes
Click Allow to grant access and return to UnleashX.
There is no key to copy. Access is granted by your Google sign-in and can be revoked anytime at your Google Account permissions page.
