Everything your agent can do with Google Drive and Dropbox
Triggers and actions 8 triggers · 59 actions
Trigger
Comment Added (Docs/Sheets/Slides)Triggers when a new comment is added to Google Docs, Sheets, or Slides.
Trigger
File CreatedTriggers when a new file is created in Google Drive.
Trigger
File Deleted or TrashedTriggers when a file is moved to trash or permanently deleted in Drive.
Trigger
File Shared (Permissions Added)Triggers when new sharing permissions are granted to a file or folder. Uses Drive's `changes.list` endpoint with inline `permissions` in the `fields` mask so each change carries the file's current permission set provider-atomically. We diff that against `seen_permission_keys` to identify newly added grants. Drive page tokens are the primary cursor; if Drive rejects a stored token, the trigger raises `PollingTriggerError` without clearing state rather than silently re-baselining and dropping events. Limitation: truly ephemeral permissions (added and revoked between two polls without any other file modification in between) are not detected. Drive Activity API would catch those but requires an additional OAuth scope and a different payload contract.
Trigger
File UpdatedTriggers when a file's metadata or content changes in Google Drive.
Trigger
Google Drive ChangesTriggers when changes are detected in a Google Drive.
Trigger
New File Matching QueryTriggers when a new Google Drive file matches a provided query.

Questions
Google Drive and Dropbox, answered
What can start an automation from Google Drive?
Any of Google Drive's 7 triggers in the catalog, including Comment Added (Docs/Sheets/Slides), File Created, File Shared (Permissions Added) and File Updated. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one.
What can your agent do in Dropbox when something happens in Google Drive?
Any of Dropbox's 18 actions, including Create Folder, Create Shared Link, Upload file and Upload File from URL. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships.
Can it also run from Dropbox to Google Drive?
Yes. When something happens in Dropbox, your agent can act in Google Drive too. This page covers both directions: Dropbox's triggers and Google Drive's actions are listed here as well.
Do I have to build a connector for Google Drive or Dropbox?
No. Both are in the catalog with their triggers and actions. You describe the automation; your agent builds it, tests every scenario and keeps it running.
What happens when something fails?
Your agent works that out for you. It plans the failure paths along with the happy path, then tests every scenario before it ships.
Is there a free plan?
Yes. Every plan includes the agent, including free, and building from your own AI client spends no assistant credits.
