Connect

  1. In Google Cloud, enable the Google Drive API, Google Docs API, and Google Sheets API for your OAuth project.
  2. Put OAuth Desktop app credentials at ~/.arden/gmail_credentials.json, or import them with the setup assistant in Settings → Integrations.
  3. Open the Google Drive card and click Connect. Arden opens the local browser OAuth flow and stores an account-specific token under ~/.arden/.
Use Add account to connect another Google account.

Available tools

Deferred group: google_drive. Mutating tools require an idempotency_key. Create and populate are separate operations, so a retry cannot duplicate content silently.

Troubleshooting

  • Missing credentials – use OAuth credentials for a Google Desktop app.
  • API not enabled / 403 – enable Drive, Docs, and Sheets APIs in the same Google Cloud project.
  • Access denied / test user – add your account as a test user while the OAuth app remains in Testing mode.
  • Missing scope – disconnect and reconnect Google Drive.
