SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Google Drive storage fills up without visibility into which files consume the most quota, making cleanup guesswork. This recipe surfaces the largest files so you can decide what to archive or delete. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Quota-Sorted Listing: Queries the Drive API with files ordered by quotaBytesUsed descending to show the biggest consumers first. - Actionable Output: Returns file ID, name, size, MIME type, and owner in a table for quick review. - Use Case: Your Google Workspace account is nearing its storage limit. Run this recipe to list the top 20 largest files, then archive or move the ones you no longer need. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to list the 20 largest files in my Google Drive by storage usage.
