Google Drive

Search and read Google Drive file metadata, export Google Docs text, create folders, rename or move files, and work with comments, permissions and revisions.

Organise shared documents automatically and feed document text into search, review and AI flows.

Build a flow with Google Drive Provider API documentation

Data types

Validation status

Implemented · fixture tested.

Implementation is checked against provider-shaped fixtures for every action, authentication failures, rate limits, pagination and duplicate safety. Provider sandbox and authorised account validation are recorded separately when credential-backed runs are completed.

Authentication

Google OAuth client and refresh token

Plans and access

Personal Google accounts and all Google Workspace editions. Requires a Google Cloud OAuth client. Restricted Drive scopes need Google verification for external users.

Test environment

Use a test Google account and an OAuth client in testing mode.

Rate limits

Per-project and per-user query quotas (about 12,000 queries per minute per user); HTTP 403/429 rate-limit errors with exponential backoff.

Provider events

Drive push notifications (changes.watch / files.watch channels). Nexra event triggers are not yet available; flows run on demand or on a schedule.

Before you build a flow

Binary file uploads and downloads are not implemented; only metadata and Google Docs text export are read.
Export is bounded by Google's 10 MB export limit and Nexra's 5 MB response limit; text is truncated to the requested length.
Trashing, deleting and sharing (permission changes) are not implemented; permissions are read-only.
Folder creation and comments have no idempotency key; uncertain writes are not repeated automatically.
Drive reports some rate limits as HTTP 403 userRateLimitExceeded, which Nexra classifies as a permission error.
