AutoGineer summary

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

This skill provides a structured procedure for auditing Google Drive storage usage. By leveraging the gws-drive integration, it retrieves a list of files sorted by their storage consumption, allowing users to quickly identify large items that may be impacting their quota.

What it does

  • Queries Google Drive for files consuming the most storage space.
  • Sorts files by size in descending order.
  • Displays file details including ID, name, size, MIME type, and owners.
  • Provides a table-formatted report for easy review.

When to use it

  • When you need to free up space in your Google Drive account.
  • When you are approaching your storage quota limit.
  • When performing a routine audit of cloud storage usage.

Advantages

  • Automates the identification of space-consuming files.
  • Provides clear visibility into storage distribution.
  • Simplifies the decision-making process for archiving or deleting files.

Usage examples

“Find the largest files in my Google Drive.”
The agent executes the file list command and returns a table showing the top 20 largest files, including their names and sizes, to help you identify what to delete or move.
