Google Drive API

Google Drive is Google's cloud-based file storage and synchronization service, part of the Google Workspace platform. It enables individuals and organizations to store files of any type, share content securely with colleagues or external partners, and collaborate in real time. The Google Drive REST API (v3) provides programmatic access to file metadata, file content, permissions, comments, revisions, and shared drives, making it possible to build automated workflows that read from or write to Drive without manual interaction. Common use cases include exporting file listings for auditing, ingesting document content for downstream processing, uploading generated reports, and managing file permissions at scale.
