Google Drive
Search, read, and create files in your organisation's Google Drive from inside Claude.
Published by the company that makes the product.
What it can access
Uses your own Google sign-in (OAuth 2.0). Google states it "inherit[s] the same permissions and data governance controls as the user". It can only see files you personally already have access to, nothing more.
Security note
Official, Google-hosted, and permission-inheriting rather than a separate program with its own access: a meaningfully lower-risk pattern than installing a third-party script. Still in Google's Developer Preview as of verification, and requires a Claude Enterprise, Pro, Max, or Team plan. It adds no limits of its own, so it hands Claude read access to whatever your Google account can already see. Review your Drive's sharing settings before connecting.
Before you start
A Claude plan that includes Connectors: Pro, Max, Team and Enterprise have them, the free plan does not, as of our last check. And a Google account signed in on this computer.
How to install
- In Claude, open Settings → Connectors.
- Find “Google Drive”, or click “Add connector” and search for it.
- Click Connect. A Google sign-in window opens.
- Read the list of permissions Google shows you. Click Allow only if you recognise every item on it.
How to remove it
- In Claude, open Settings → Connectors, find “Google Drive”, and click Disconnect.
- Then go to myaccount.google.com/permissions, find “Claude”, and remove its access there. Disconnecting inside Claude does not revoke it on Google’s side.
