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)
