Google Drive
List files and read file metadata in Google Drive (OAuth2).
OCNORA ships 15 typed Google Drive operations and 1 trigger. Each node has a schema-driven form, input and output tables beside its settings, and is pre-flighted by Workflow Health before your first real run.
Before you connect Google Drive
- Authentication
- OAuth 2.0
- Credential
- {"client_id", "client_secret", "refresh_token"}
- Connection test
- Available: the stored credential can be checked against the provider when you add it. This is not a record that a test was run or passed.

A sample Google Drive workflow
- 1File Changedtrigger.google_drive_changeStart a run when a file is created, modified, trashed or removed in Google Drive (polled).
- 2Download Filegoogle_drive.download_fileDownload a Drive file's content as a file blob (base64 envelope).
- 3Copy Filegoogle_drive.copy_fileCopy a Drive file, optionally renaming it or placing it in another folder.
An outline built from this provider’s node contracts, not a recorded run. Each step’s output fields are available to the next in the field picker.
Every node below has a reference page: what it does, the connection it needs, its config fields with types, constraints and examples, and the shapes it emits.

Google Drive questions
- How does OCNORA authenticate with Google Drive?
- With a stored OAuth 2.0 credential, shaped {"client_id", "client_secret", "refresh_token"}. A connection test can check it when you add it.
- What can I automate with Google Drive?
- 15 typed operations and 1 trigger, each with a reference page listing its config fields and the shapes it emits.
- What if the Google Drive operation I need is not listed?
- Where Google Drive has an HTTP API, call it from the HTTP node with the same credential, or describe the step to the AI builder, which asks our team for a typed node when one is missing.
- Are there templates that use Google Drive?
- Not yet. Start from a blank workflow, or describe the workflow to Build with AI.
- How are Google Drive calls controlled?
- Every call and every run step is audited, runs count against the execution budget, and Workflow Health pre-flights the workflow when you save it.
