The Google Drive node adds Google Drive operations to your workflows. Add it on the canvas or ask the AI builder for it by name, then pick an operation and fill in its fields. Google Drive also includes 5 trigger operations (marked in the tables below) that can start a workflow when something happens in Google Drive.
You can wire the Google Drive node into an AI agent as a tool provider: the agent calls the operations you allow. See Agent tools.

Credentials

Connect Google Drive under Credentials in the node settings. See Connecting credentials for the general flow. Sign in with your Google Drive account when prompted; no keys to copy. NoClick requests the following permissions:
