Frequently asked questions about the Google Drive: Folders & Shared Drives MCP Server
What is the difference between this and the regular Google Drive server?
This version is specialized for folder management, hierarchical organization, and Shared Drives. It includes specific tools for moving files between folders, managing Shared Drive memberships, and creating shortcuts to maintain a clean workspace.
Can I move an entire folder structure to a Shared Drive?
Yes! You can use the move_file_to_folder tool (which also works for folders) to transfer a root folder into a Shared Drive ID. The AI agent will handle the parent reassignment via the API.
How do I create a shortcut to a document in another folder?
Use the create_shortcut tool. Provide the name for the shortcut, the ID of the target document, and the ID of the folder where you want the shortcut to appear.
