Usage Tips

How do I find files?
Ask your agent to “search Drive for [filename]”. The Drive tool searches file names for plain-text queries; a structured Drive query can use other supported fields. To read a supported file’s content, ask the agent to open the file it found. How do I create folders?
Ask to “create a folder called Project Files” and specify the parent folder if needed. Folders help organize your Drive content.
