# Google Drive Access
List, download, and sync files from Google Drive programmatically via Claude Code CLI.
## MANDATORY PREFLIGHT (Execute Before Any Drive Operation)
**CRITICAL**: You MUST complete this preflight checklist before running any gdrive commands. Do NOT skip steps.
### Step 1: Check CLI Binary Exists
```bash
ls -la "$HOME/.claude/plugins/marketplaces/cc-skills/plugins/gdrive-tools/skills/gdrive-access/scripts/gdrive" 2>/dev/null || echo "BINARY_NOT_FOUND"
```
**If BINARY_NOT_FOUND**: Build it first:
```bash
cd ~/.claude/plugins/marketplaces/cc-skills/plugins/gdrive-tools/skills/gdrive-access/scripts && bun install && bun run build
```
### Step 2: Check GDRIVE_OP_UUID Environment Variable
```bash
echo "GDRIVE_OP_UUID: ${GDRIVE_OP_UUID:-NOT_SET}"
```
**If NOT_SET**: You MUST run the Setup Flow below. Do NOT proceed to gdrive commands.
### Step 3: Verify 1Password Authentication
```bash
op account list 2>&1 | head -3
```
**If error or not signed in**: Inform user to run `op signin` first.
---
## Setup Flow (When GDRIVE_OP_UUID is NOT_SET)
Follow these steps IN ORDER. Use AskUserQuestion at decision points.
### Setup Step 1: Check 1Password CLI
```bash
command -v op && echo "OP_CLI_INSTALLED" || echo "OP_CLI_MISSING"
```
**If OP_CLI_MISSING**: Stop and inform user:
> 1Password CLI is required. Install with: `brew install 1password-cli`
### Setup Step 2: Discover Drive OAuth Items in 1Password
```bash
op item list --vault Employee --format json 2>/dev/null | jq -r '.[] | select(.title | test("drive|oauth|google"; "i")) | "\(.id)\t\(.title)"'
```
**Parse the output** and proceed based on results:
### Setup Step 3: User Selects OAuth Credentials
**If items found**, use AskUserQuestion with discovered items:
```
AskUserQuestion({
questions: [{
question: "Which 1Password item contains your Google Drive OAuth credentials?",
header: "Drive OAuth",
options: [
// POPULATE FROM op item list RESULTS - example:
{ label: "Google Drive API (56peh...)", description: "OAuth client in Employee vault" },
{ label: "Gmail API - dental-quizzes (abc12...)", description: "Can also access Drive" },
],
multiSelect: false
}]
})
```
**If NO items found**, use AskUserQuestion to guide setup:
```
AskUserQuestion({
questions: [{
question: "No Google Drive OAuth credentials found in 1Password. How would you like to proceed?",
header: "Setup",
options: [
{ label: "Create new OAuth credentials (Recommended)", description: "I'll guide you through Google Cloud Console setup" },
{ label: "I have credentials elsewhere", description: "Help me add them to 1Password" },
{ label: "Skip for now", description: "I'll set this up later" }
],
multiSelect: false
}]
})
```
- If "Create new OAuth credentials": Read and present [references/gdrive-api-setup.md](./references/gdrive-api-setup.md)
- If "I have credentials elsewhere": Guide user to add to 1Password with required fields
- If "Skip for now": Inform user the skill won't work until configured
### Setup Step 4: Confirm mise Configuration
After user selects an item (with UUID), use AskUserQuestion:
```
AskUserQuestion({
questions: [{
question: "Add GDRIVE_OP_UUID to .mise.local.toml in current project?",
header: "Configure",
options: [
{ label: "Yes, add to .mise.local.toml (Recommended)", description: "Creates/updates gitignored config file" },
{ label: "Show me the config only", description: "I'll add it manually" }
],
multiSelect: false
}]
})
```
**If "Yes, add to .mise.local.toml"**:
1. Check if `.mise.local.toml` exists
2. If exists, append `GDRIVE_OP_UUID` to `[env]` section
3. If not exists, create with:
```toml
[env]
GDRIVE_OP_UUID = "<selected-uuid>"
```
1. Verify `.mise.local.toml` is in `.gitignore`
**If "Show me the config only"**: Output the TOML for user to add manually.
### Setup Step 5: Reload and Verify
```bash
mise trust 2>/dev/null || true
cd . && echo "GDRIVE_OP_UUID after reload: ${GDRIVE_OP_UUID:-NOT_SET}"
```
**If still NOT_SET**: Inform user to restart their shell or run `source ~/.zshrc`.
### Setup Step 6: Test Connection
```bash
GDRIVE_OP_UUID="${GDRIVE_OP_UUID}" $HOME/.claude/plugins/marketplaces/cc-skills/plugins/gdrive-tools/skills/gdrive-access/scripts/gdrive list 1wqqqvBmeUFYuwOOEQhzoChC7KzAk-mAS
```
**If OAuth prompt appears**: This is expected on first run. Browser will open for Google consent.

## Drive Commands (Only After Preflight Passes)
```bash
GDRIVE_CLI="$HOME/.claude/plugins/marketplaces/cc-skills/plugins/gdrive-tools/skills/gdrive-access/scripts/gdrive"
# List files in a folder
$GDRIVE_CLI list <folder_id>
# List with details (size, modified date)
$GDRIVE_CLI list <folder_id> --verbose
# Search for files
$GDRIVE_CLI search "name contains 'training'"
# Get file info
$GDRIVE_CLI info <file_id>
# Download a single file
$GDRIVE_CLI download <file_id> -o ./output.pdf
# Sync entire folder to local directory
$GDRIVE_CLI sync <folder_id> -o ./output_dir
# Sync with subfolders
$GDRIVE_CLI sync <folder_id> -o ./output_dir -r
# JSON output (for parsing)
$GDRIVE_CLI list <folder_id> --json
```
## Extracting Folder ID from URL
Google Drive folder URL:
```
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1wqqqvBmeUFYuwOOEQhzoChC7KzAk-mAS
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This is the folder ID
```
