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
- Reads the user's config file (
~/.cowork-gdrive-config.json) - Base64-encodes the target file
- POSTs it to the deployed Google Apps Script
- Returns the Google Drive file URL
How to Use
Prerequisites (One-Time Setup)
- Deploy the included Google Apps Script as a web app
- Create
~/.cowork-gdrive-config.jsonwith 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
# 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](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)
