Google Drive Connector on Manus
Your data lives in Google Drive. Your reports, your spreadsheets, your documents—it’s all there. But your work happens in Manus. You find yourself downloading files, uploading them to a session, and then exporting the results back to your desktop, only to upload them again to Drive. The workflow is functional, but it’s fragmented. The bridge between your knowledge base and your workspace has been manual, repetitive, and slow.
This is the friction we’ve seen users consistently face: your data is in one place, and your analysis is in another. The separation creates unnecessary steps, breaks your flow, and keeps your most valuable information from being seamlessly integrated into your work. Until now.
The Google Drive Connector is now available on Manus—a powerful integration that transforms your personal Google Drive into an external database for your workflows.
What the Google Drive Connector Does
The Google Drive Connector bridges the gap between your files and your workflows. It allows Manus to interact directly with your Google Drive, acting as both an input for contextual data and an output for your results. Instead of manually moving files, you can now programmatically update, retrieve, organize, and write information directly within your Drive.
This turns Google Drive from a simple storage folder into a dynamic, queryable database that’s fully integrated with your Manus tasks. It’s your data, now connected.
Key Capabilities
•Update and Write with Precision: Directly modify and update files, such as populating a Google Sheet with new data from a web search or analysis. You can also write new documents, like generating a report and saving it straight to a designated folder.
•Retrieve Information Instantly: Query your entire Drive to find documents containing specific keywords or data points. Manus can then use that information as context for new tasks, like summarizing a series of documents or extracting key figures from past reports.
•Organize Your Workspace: Programmatically manage your file structure. Create folders, move documents, and archive old files to keep your Drive organized without ever leaving your Manus session.
Why It Matters
This integration fundamentally changes how you can use Manus with your existing data. By treating Google Drive as a personal database, you unlock more powerful and automated workflows.
•Centralized Knowledge: Your Google Drive becomes a single source of truth that Manus can draw from and contribute to in real-time.
•Automated Reporting: Schedule tasks to automatically gather information, generate reports, and save them to a shared Drive folder for your team to review.
•Seamless Data Integration: Use files in your Drive as live context for your tasks. Manus can read a document, analyze its content, and act on it without you ever needing to copy-paste.

Common Questions
Q: How secure is the connection to my Google Drive?
Security is our top priority. The integration uses Google's official API and secure OAuth 2.0 protocols for authentication. Manus only has access to the files and permissions you grant, and you can revoke access at any time from your Google Account settings.
Q: What file types can Manus interact with?
Manus can perform basic operations like reading, writing, and organizing all file types in your Google Drive. For Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides, Manus has enhanced capabilities to read and update content directly.
Q: Will Manus delete my files?
Manus will not delete files unless you explicitly request it in your prompt. Even if a file is deleted, Google Drive's Trash bin retains deleted files for 30 days, allowing you to restore them at any time.
The Google Drive Connector breaks down the silos between your information and your workflows, making it easier to work with the data you already have. Start connecting your Drive today and build more powerful, automated workflows.
