✅ What the AI can do

• Search and read Docs, Sheets, Slides, PDFs, images and Office files; upload files; create folders.

• Share, move and trash files (asks for approval by default); edit Docs, Sheets and Slides live beside the chat.

• Connect Google Drive to Claude to search through your documents, read file contents, upload new files, and analyze your data. Claude can find specific documents even when you don't remember the exact name, read and analyze the content of Google Docs, Sheets, Slides, and PDFs, and upload files directly to your Drive. Useful for finding project notes, extracting data from spreadsheets, preparing meeting materials, or organizing files scattered across your Drive.

• Work with Google Drive documents—including Docs, Slides, PDFs, and uploaded files—to search content, create summaries, synthesize information, and pull context into new drafts without manually switching between documents.

• Accelerate drafting from existing content: "Search my Drive for the latest Q4 board deck and write a 10-bullet executive recap with the 3 biggest risks and 3 next actions."

• Simplify research synthesis across many documents: "From [folder], pull key deliverables, timeline, and open questions, then draft a client-ready status update."

• Apply consistent standards to documents and presentations: "Use our brand guidelines doc and rewrite this product one-pager to match the approved voice and formatting while keeping facts intact."
