Describe the whole flow and it is built, tested on every scenario and kept running. OneDrive **9** triggers OneDrive **87** actions Google Drive **7** triggers Google Drive **85** actions What the catalog holds today. Ask for anything missing and your agent reads the API documentation and adds it. ## What do you want OneDrive and Google Drive to do together? Give your AI client this address. `https://mcp.apiant.ai` One connection does both: ask your client to act in an app once, or have it build an automation that keeps running. Any client that takes a remote MCP server. Nothing to install. Create your free account, then sign in once in your browser. ### Set it up in your client ### Claude Code Run this in the directory you want to work in. `claude mcp add --transport http -s project apiant-ai https://mcp.apiant.ai` Start Claude Code there, approve the server, and sign in in the browser page it opens.

Connecting the two lets a new Google Drive file land in the right OneDrive folder, a trashed file be removed on both sides, and folders or sharing set in one place show up in the other, without anyone copying files by hand. Example flows ## What OneDrive and Google Drive can do together ### From OneDrive to Google Drive - When **OneDrive Folder Created Trigger** in OneDrive then **Create Folder** in Google Drive - When **Sharing Permission Added or Removed** in OneDrive then **Add File Sharing Preference** in Google Drive ### From Google Drive to OneDrive - When **File Created** in Google Drive then **Update File Content** in OneDrive - When **File Deleted or Trashed** in Google Drive then **Delete Item** in OneDrive Starting points drawn from the triggers and actions in the catalog today.

Start without `page_token`, then pass each `next_page_token` back until `sync_complete` is true. The terminal `delta_token` can be saved and passed back later to fetch changes since the completed snapshot. Delta enumeration is stable under concurrent writes and avoids the request burst caused by recursively fetching every folder in one execution. - Action **List Drive Item Activities** Tool to list recent activities for a specific item in a onedrive drive. use when you need to track changes or actions performed on a file or folder. - Action **List Drives** Tool to retrieve a list of drive resources available to the authenticated user, or for a specific user, group, or site. use when you need to find out what drives are accessible. - Action **List Folder Children** List the direct children (files/folders) of a OneDrive/SharePoint folder by DriveItem ID or path.

Use this action when you need to revert a file to an earlier version. The restoration is permanent and creates a new current version — the file cannot be automatically reverted after this operation, though you can restore again to a different version if needed. This action is irreversible in the sense that it immediately changes the current file content. - Action **Search Drive Items** Search OneDrive and accessible SharePoint files with Microsoft Graph Search. This does not produce a complete shared-with-me list; use deprecated ONE_DRIVE_GET_SHARED_ITEMS only when full shared-with-me enumeration is required before Microsoft removes that API in November 2026. Requires OneDrive permissions plus Sites.Read.All because SharePoint-backed files can appear in results. - Action **Search Items** Searches for driveitems in onedrive that match the specified query. use this to find files or folders based on keywords. - Action **Search Sharepoint Sites** Search SharePoint sites visible to an organizational Microsoft account. - Action **Track Folder Changes** Track changes beneath one folder, one Microsoft Graph delta page at a time. - Action **Unfollow Item** Tool to unfollow a driveItem by removing it from the user's followed items collection.

The worksheet is identified by its ID or display name within the specified workbook. - Action **Write Workbook Cell** Updates the value, formula, or format of a specific cell in an Excel workbook stored in OneDrive. Use this action when you need to write data to a single cell at a specific row and column position. The row and column parameters are 0-indexed (row 0 is the first row, column 0 is column A). - Trigger **Comment Added (Docs/Sheets/Slides)** Triggers when a new comment is added to Google Docs, Sheets, or Slides. - Trigger **File Created** Triggers when a new file is created in Google Drive. - Trigger **File Deleted or Trashed** Triggers 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 Updated** Triggers when a file's metadata or content changes in Google Drive. - Trigger **Google Drive Changes** Triggers when changes are detected in a Google Drive. - Trigger **New File Matching Query** Triggers when a new Google Drive file matches a provided query. This is the legacy query-centric trigger: it preserves Drive API query config such as ``corpora`` / ``driveId`` aliases and emits the historical ``file_matching_query`` event type. ``FileCreatedTrigger`` covers the broader "new file" case and emits ``file_created``. - Action **Add File Sharing Preference** Modifies sharing permissions for an existing google drive file, granting a specified role to a user, group, domain, or 'anyone'. - Action **Add Parent** Tool to add a parent folder for a file using Google Drive API v2.

Yes. The File Created trigger in Google Drive can download the file, then Onedrive Find Folder checks whether a matching folder already exists, and the content is written there with Onedrive Create Text File. If the folder is missing, Onedrive Create Folder makes it first. ### ### Does sharing carry over between the two apps? Sharing events can start a run: Google Drive's File Shared trigger and OneDrive's Sharing Permission Added or Removed trigger both report the change. From there you can call Add File Sharing Preference in Google Drive or read access with Get Item Permissions in OneDrive. ### ### What can start an automation from OneDrive? Any of OneDrive's 9 triggers in the catalog, including OneDrive Folder Created Trigger, Sharing Permission Added or Removed, File Updated and Item Moved or Renamed. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one. ### ### What can your agent do in Google Drive when something happens in OneDrive? Any of Google Drive's 85 actions, including Add File Sharing Preference, Create Folder, Download File and Create Comment. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships. ### ### Can it also run from Google Drive to OneDrive? Yes. When something happens in Google Drive, your agent can act in OneDrive too. This page covers both directions: Google Drive's triggers and OneDrive's actions are listed here as well. ### ### Do I have to build a connector for OneDrive or Google Drive? 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. ### ### Can my AI client use OneDrive and Google Drive without building an automation? Yes. With your AI client connected to APIANT, ask it to do something in either app once and it runs that action on the spot. Ask for an automation and your agent builds it, tests every scenario and keeps it running. One connection covers both. ### ### 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.
