FAQPage Schema
How do I create a Google Shared Drive from the command line?▼

Use the gws CLI with the drive drives create command, passing a unique requestId as a parameter and the drive name in the JSON body. This recipe provides the exact command sequence including member setup.

How to add members to a Google Shared Drive with specific roles?▼

Use gws drive permissions create with the drive ID as fileId, supportsAllDrives set to true, and a JSON body specifying the role, type, and emailAddress. Roles such as writer can be assigned per member.

What prerequisites are needed to run this Shared Drive recipe?▼

You need the gws binary installed and the gws-drive skill loaded before executing this recipe. The gws CLI handles authentication and communication with the Google Drive API.

How can I verify who has access to a Google Shared Drive?▼

Run gws drive permissions list with the drive ID as fileId and supportsAllDrives set to true. This returns all current members and their assigned roles on the drive.

Why does Shared Drive creation fail with a duplicate request error?▼

The requestId parameter must be unique for each creation request to ensure idempotency. Reusing the same requestId returns the previously created drive instead of making a new one, so generate a fresh ID per drive.
