Google Drive: Upload a file with automatic metadata.
— the description by Google Workspace

AutoGineer summary

Written by AutoGineer from the skill’s own files, not by the author

The gws-drive-upload skill provides a streamlined interface for uploading local files to Google Drive. It automatically detects the appropriate MIME type for the file and allows users to specify target folders or custom filenames during the upload process.

What it does

  • Uploads local files directly to Google Drive.
  • Automatically detects and assigns the correct MIME type.
  • Allows specification of a parent folder ID for organized storage.
  • Supports renaming files during the upload process.

When to use it

  • When you need to automate the transfer of local documents or data files to Google Drive.
  • When you want to ensure files are uploaded with correct metadata without manual intervention.

Advantages

  • Simplifies Google Drive file management via command line.
  • Reduces manual effort by automating MIME type detection.
  • Provides flexible options for file naming and destination management.

Usage examples

“Upload report.pdf to my Google Drive.”
The agent executes the upload command, automatically detecting the PDF MIME type and saving the file to the default location.
“Upload data.csv to the folder with ID 12345 and name it Sales Data.csv.”
The agent uploads the file to the specified folder and updates the filename to Sales Data.csv.
