What This Skill Does

A CLI wrapper around the Google Drive v3 API. Manage files, folders, permissions, shared drives, comments, and revisions from the command line using the `gws` tool.

Instead of clicking through the Drive UI or writing OAuth boilerplate, you get direct API access to any Drive resource in one command.

When to use it

  • Listing all files in a shared drive filtered by label or MIME type
  • Revoking a specific user's permission on a file without opening the browser
  • Downloading a Google Doc exported as PDF into a local directory
  • Watching a folder for changes and piping events to a script
  • Resolving pending access proposals on files you own
