Description

Google Drive integration allows you to manage folders and files in your Google Drive account. This integration provides essential folder management capabilities, enabling you to organize your documents, create folder structures, and maintain your Drive workspace programmatically. The Google Drive integration is part of the unified Google Sheets provider, which means it uses the same OAuth authentication and shares the same automation type (google_sheets). This unified approach simplifies authentication while providing access to both Google Sheets and Google Drive functionality.

​
Authentication

  • OAuth 2.0 - Connect your Google account via the Plura OAuth flow. The same Google OAuth connection used for Google Sheets also provides access to Google Drive operations.

​
Available Actions

The Google Drive integration supports the following actions:
  • List Folders - Retrieve a list of folders in your Google Drive, with optional filtering by parent folder
  • Create Folder - Create new folders in your Google Drive, with optional parent folder specification
  • Delete Folder - Remove folders or files from your Google Drive by their file ID

​
