# porteden drive

Use `porteden drive` for Google Drive file and folder management. **Use `-jc` flags** for AI-optimized output.

If `porteden` is not installed: `brew install porteden/tap/porteden` (or `go install github.com/porteden/cli/cmd/porteden@latest`).

## Setup (once)

- **Browser login (recommended):** `porteden auth login` — opens browser, credentials stored in system keyring
- **Direct token:** `porteden auth login --token <key>` — stored in system keyring
- **Verify:** `porteden auth status`
- If `PE_API_KEY` is set in the environment, the CLI uses it automatically (no login needed).
- Drive access requires a token with `driveAccessEnabled: true` and a connected Google account with Drive scopes.

## Drive commands (`porteden drive`)

### List & inspect

- List files: `porteden drive files -jc`
- Search by keyword: `porteden drive files -q "budget report" -jc`
- Filter by folder: `porteden drive files --folder google:0B7_FOLDER_ID -jc`
- Filter by MIME type: `porteden drive files --mime-type application/pdf -jc`
- Filter by name: `porteden drive files --name "Q1" -jc`
- Shared with me: `porteden drive files --shared-with-me -jc`
- Modified in range: `porteden drive files --modified-after 2026-01-01 --modified-before 2026-02-01 -jc`
- All files (auto-paginate): `porteden drive files --all -jc`
- Get file metadata: `porteden drive file google:FILEID -jc`
- Get view/download links: `porteden drive download google:FILEID -jc`
- List permissions: `porteden drive permissions google:FILEID -jc`

### Read content

- Read text content of any file: `porteden drive content google:FILEID`
  - Google Docs export to `text/plain` inline
  - Text-like files (text/\*, JSON, XML, YAML, CSV) return as-is
  - Binary files return a `webViewLink` — open in browser
  - Spreadsheets/presentations are steered to: `porteden sheets content` / `porteden slides read`

### Create & upload

- Create file with inline content: `porteden drive create --name "Notes.md" --mime-type text/markdown --content "# Notes"`
- Create from local text file: `porteden drive create --name "Plan" --mime-type application/vnd.google-apps.document --content-file ./plan.md --content-mime-type text/markdown`
- Create CSV file: `porteden drive create --name "Data.csv" --mime-type text/csv --content-file ./data.csv`
- Upload binary file: `porteden drive upload --file ./report.pdf --name "Q1 Report.pdf"`
- Upload to folder: `porteden drive upload --file ./data.csv --name "Data.csv" --folder google:0B7_FOLDER`
- Create folder: `porteden drive mkdir --name "Project Files"`
- Create folder in folder: `porteden drive mkdir --name "Reports" --parent google:0B7_FOLDER`

### Manage

- Rename: `porteden drive rename google:FILEID --name "New Name.pdf"`
- Move: `porteden drive move google:FILEID --destination google:0B7_DEST_FOLDER`
- Share with user: `porteden drive share google:FILEID --type user --role reader --email user@example.com`
- Share with domain: `porteden drive share google:FILEID --type domain --role reader --domain example.com`
- Share publicly: `porteden drive share google:FILEID --type anyone --role reader`
- Delete (trash): `porteden drive delete google:FILEID` (prompts) or `porteden drive delete google:FILEID -y`

## Notes

- Credentials persist in the system keyring after login. No repeated auth needed.
- Set `PE_PROFILE=work` to avoid repeating `--profile`.
- `-jc` is shorthand for `--json --compact`: strips noise, limits fields, reduces tokens for AI agents.
- **File IDs are always provider-prefixed** (e.g., `google:1BxiMVs0XRA5...`). Pass them as-is.
- `porteden drive files --all` auto-paginates (safety cap: 50 pages). Check `hasMore` in JSON output.
- `porteden drive download` returns **URLs only** — no binary content is streamed.
- `porteden drive content` is the **universal text reader** — use it instead of `download` when you need the textual content of a file. For Google Workspace types (Sheets, Slides) it steers to the dedicated commands (`porteden sheets content`, `porteden slides read`) via stderr hints.
- `porteden drive create` uses **inline JSON** (UTF-8 text only, ≤ 10 MB). For binary content use `porteden drive upload`. For Workspace target MIME types (`application/vnd.google-apps.{document,spreadsheet,presentation}`) Drive auto-imports the content; otherwise the file is stored as-is.
- `accessInfo` in responses describes active token restrictions. Always check it to understand what data may be limited.
- `authWarnings` in list responses indicate provider connection issues.
- `delete` moves to trash (reversible). Files can be restored from Google Drive trash.
- Confirm before sharing or deleting files.
- Environment variables: `PE_API_KEY`, `PE_PROFILE`, `PE_FORMAT`, `PE_COLOR`, `PE_VERBOSE`.
