Overview
Google Drive is Google's cloud file storage and sync service, supporting documents, spreadsheets, presentations, and arbitrary files with sharing and permission controls. The Drive API exposes programmatic file and folder operations.
Ferentin integration
Ferentin's Google Drive MCP server gives AI agents access to a user's Drive through OAuth2 authorization, with tools for file search, folder navigation, file content retrieval, and metadata operations. Policy controls restrict access to specific folder IDs or MIME types.
