# Google Drive Upload

Upload files directly from Claude to Google Drive using a simple Google Apps Script.

## When to Use This Skill

- User asks to upload, save, or send a file to Google Drive
- A workflow produces a file the user might want stored in Drive
- User mentions Drive in any language (English or Hebrew)

## What This Skill Does

1. Reads the user's config file (`~/.cowork-gdrive-config.json`)
2. Base64-encodes the target file
3. POSTs it to the deployed Google Apps Script
4. Returns the Google Drive file URL

## How to Use

### Prerequisites (One-Time Setup)

1. Deploy the included Google Apps Script as a web app
2. Create `~/.cowork-gdrive-config.json` with your script URL and API key

### Basic Usage

Ask Claude naturally:
- "Upload this report to Google Drive"
- "Save the presentation in Clients/Acme on Drive"
- "תעלה את זה לדרייב"

### Upload Workflow

\`\`\`bash
# Read config
cat "$HOME/.cowork-gdrive-config.json"

# Encode and upload
FILE="/path/to/file"
B64=$(base64 "$FILE" | tr -d '\n')
MIME=$(file --mime-type -b "$FILE")

curl -s -L -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"fileName":"name","content":"'$B64'","mimeType":"'$MIME'","apiKey":"KEY"}' \
  "SCRIPT_URL"
\`\`\`

## Example

**User**: "Upload this report to Google Drive"

**Output**: Claude encodes the file, uploads it via the Apps Script, and returns:
"Uploaded successfully! Here's your file: https://drive.google.com/file/d/abc123/view"

## Tips

- Use `folderPath` to organize files into folders (e.g., "Clients/Acme")
- Add `"replaceExisting": true` to overwrite instead of duplicating
- Hebrew filenames are fully supported
- Max file size is ~50MB (Google Apps Script limit)
