Give your AI agent safe access to Google Drive
Connect your Google Drive and your agent can read, create, edit, and organise files — all within the rules you set. It can pull information from your documents, build new ones, and reorganise folders.
You stay in control of what it touches, what it changes, and what's completely off-limits.
Step 1
Connect your Google account
Open the AgentBlocks dashboard, click “Connect to Google Drive,” and sign in with Google. That's the entire setup. Your agent now has access to your Drive — but only within the rules you're about to set. You can disconnect at any time.

Connect a Google account to give your agent access to Google Drive.
Step 2
Set your Google Drive rules
Let your agent move freely through the safe stuff — browsing folders, checking file info, reading documents — and step in when it matters. Approve new files and edits before they happen. Block moves or trashing entirely if you want nothing reorganised without you. The choice is yours on every single action.
Reading
What your agent can see in your Drive. These don't change anything — they're read-only.
Browse files & folders
List files in folders — names and dates, not content.
Read file info
Check file size, type, owner, and when it was last modified.
Open & read content
Let your agent read the full content of documents and spreadsheets.
Editing
Actions that create or change files. These can't be undone automatically.
Create files
Add new documents, sheets, or folders to your Drive.
Edit files
Modify the content of existing documents or spreadsheets.
Move files
Reorganise files between folders.
Trash files
Move files to the bin (they stay there until you empty it).
Step 3
Connect your agent
Open your AI tool — Claude, Manus, whatever you use — and add AgentBlocks as a connector. Two clicks. Your agent instantly knows it has Google Drive access and exactly what it's allowed to do.
Add custom connector
BETAConnect Claude to your data and tools. Learn more about connectors or get started with pre-built ones.

Advanced settings
Only use connectors from developers you trust. Anthropic does not control which tools developers make available and cannot verify that they will work as intended or that they won't change.
Step 4
It reads and explores your Drive on its own
Ask your agent to do something with your files and it gets to work. It browses folders, opens the right documents, pulls data from spreadsheets, and builds up everything it needs to finish the task. All of this happens automatically — no interruptions while it's gathering context.
Step 5
Creating or changing files needs your approval
When your agent wants to create a new file, edit an existing one, or reorganise your folders, it pauses. You see what's being created or changed — the file name, where it's going, and a preview of the content — before anything is actually written to your Drive. One tap to approve, and it's done.

And it shows up in your Drive
The file appears exactly where you'd expect it — in the right folder, with the right name, ready to open. Your Drive looks like you created it yourself, because as far as Google's concerned, you did.
Step 6
Then let it run
Once you're comfortable with your rules, your agent works through your Drive on its own — reading documents, pulling data, building context, and drafting new files. It only surfaces when there's something to create, edit, or move. You approve from your phone (or wherever you use WhatsApp, Slack or email) in seconds and it keeps going.
