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