What recipe-share-folder-with-team does

This skill provides instructions for managing Google Drive folder permissions with the gws command-line tool. It searches for a directory by name and MIME type, then sets user permissions using collaborator email addresses.

The workflow uses gws drive permissions create to assign writer or reader roles, followed by gws drive permissions list to output the results as a table. To execute the steps, you must have the gws binary installed and load the gws-drive skill beforehand.

Install this recipe if you manage workspace permissions via coding agents. If your workflow does not rely on the gws CLI tool, skip it.

What it helps with

  • find a Google Drive folder by name and folder MIME type
  • assign writer permissions on a folder to a collaborator email
  • grant reader access to stakeholders
  • list and verify folder permissions in table format

Example prompts for the agent

  • Find the Google Drive folder named Project X and share it with [email protected] as an editor
  • Grant viewer permissions for FOLDER_ID to [email protected]
  • Check existing permissions for FOLDER_ID in table format
