Which capability to use
| Capability | Access scope |
|---|---|
| Google Drive | Only specific files you share with the agent, plus files the agent creates. |
| Google Drive (Full Access) | All drives and folders you approve for the token. Hidden by default — email support@abundly.ai to enable it for your workspace. |
How to enable
Enable the capability
Go to Settings → Capabilities and enable Google Drive or Google Drive (Full Access).
Connect your Google account
Click Create new to sign in with your Google account and create a personal access token. This token belongs to you and can be managed in your profile settings.If you already have a matching Drive token from setting up another agent, you can select it from the dropdown instead.
Set access scope
- Google Drive: Open Docs and use the Google Drive Files section to share one or more specific Drive files with your agent. You can remove access later. The agent can also access files it creates itself.
- Google Drive (Full Access): After OAuth, Abundly takes you to a settings page where you can pick which drives (My Drive and any shared drives) to allow, and optionally narrow access to specific folders within each drive. Choose Allow All & Continue to keep broad access, or Save & Continue to apply a restricted scope from the start.
You can update Full Access drive and folder selections later from Profile settings → Personal Tokens.
What your agent can do with Drive files
- Read: Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides, plus text files, PDFs, and common Office files (Word, Excel, PowerPoint)
- Edit: Google Docs and Google Sheets that the agent has access to
- Create: New Google Docs and Google Sheets in your Drive
If your token expires or is revoked
OAuth tokens refresh automatically in normal use. If your Google Drive access has been revoked or can no longer be refreshed, use Reconnect where available (Drive capability card, Drive Files panel, or Personal Tokens) to re-run consent on the same token so agents keep using the existing token reference.Example use cases
