# Connect Google Drive to Hypamoon

Yes, with one catch. Google Drive has an open API that you can use yourself, but it signs in with OAuth only, and that takes more work in a Hypamoon adapter today.

Open

## The check

Three questions about the API of Google Drive, answered from its own docs.

**Public API docs**\
**Yes.** [Read the docs](https://developers.google.com/workspace/drive/api/guides/push)

**A key you create yourself**\
**Yes.** Create an OAuth client or a service account yourself in your own Google Cloud project; for Workspace, a Super Admin can grant domain-wide delegation. [developers.google.com](https://developers.google.com/workspace/guides/create-credentials)

**Versions or a changelog**\
**Yes.** Versioned REST API, v3, with release notes. [developers.google.com](https://developers.google.com/workspace/drive/release-notes)

**How it signs in**\
OAuth 2.0 with a client from your own Google Cloud project, or a service account with domain-wide delegation in a Workspace domain.

**Webhooks**\
**Yes.** It can tell your app when something changes. [developers.google.com](https://developers.google.com/workspace/drive/api/guides/push)

**Hosting**\
Cloud

## Your own document portal on Google Drive, each customer with their own folder.

-   Folders, files and sharing, straight from Google Drive.
-   AI that reads each upload, names it and files it in the right folder.
-   A portal for customers to upload and find their documents.

### Ask your chat

Answers straight from your Google Drive data, in Claude or another chat with the full Hypamoon connection.

-   Which customer folders got new files this week?
-   Where is the signed quote for the Utrecht job?

### When something happens

Google Drive sends a webhook to your app, and the app asks AI what happens next.

1.  When

    A file is added to the intake folder.

    AI decides

    AI reads it and decides which customer and document type it is.

    Then

    The file is renamed and moved to the customer's folder in Drive.

    Ask for an approval step, and you check it first

### A screen for your team or customers

An app on your own address, with sign-in, on top of the same Google Drive data.

-   For your customers

    Customers sign in, upload documents and see only their own folder.

Google Drive stays the core: your chat builds the rest on its API, as an adapter plus an app and agents in your Hypamoon project. Reading starts after you click Allow in the portal. Every change an agent or a chat makes in Google Drive waits for your approval, one call at a time. [How adapters work](https://hypamoon.com/docs/adapters)

### Good to know

-   Google Drive signs in with OAuth or signed requests only, with tokens that expire. The Hypamoon vault holds a fixed key today, so an adapter for Google Drive takes more work: ask your chat to check this first.
-   Part of Google Workspace, which has its own entry; this entry is for people looking for this app on its own. Watch channels last at most one day for files and one week for changes, and must be renewed by hand.

## Tool not listed? Ask the chat to check its API.

The same three checks work for any software. Your chat reads the vendor's own docs and tells you what it found.
