# Google Drive actions

> Work with approved files and folders without granting unrestricted Drive access.

## Before you start

Use a test channel or sample conversation first. Confirm the result before applying the setup to production traffic.

## How it works

1. Resources. Select allowed files/folders under the supported Google authorization. The connection/resource grants and provider permissions both constrain access.

2. Actions. List allowed or app-created resources, read metadata, create folders, upload, copy, rename, move, export, download and move items to recoverable trash.

3. Files. Use the supported account-scoped attachment/artifact reference for uploads and returned files. An arbitrary URL or another account file is not an authorized attachment.

4. Moves and copies. Check both source and destination permissions and use actual IDs. Creating a file does not automatically grant every restricted agent access to it.

5. Limits. The tool set does not offer public-sharing changes or permanent deletion. Trashing a file is a real external change and is different from disconnecting Google Drive.

## What to verify

- The expected channel, conversation, contact or execution is visible.
- The assignment matches the configured routing.
- No customer-facing message claims an action that failed.
- Activity or execution history explains the result.
