In the sidebar, click **Customize**, then **Connectors**, then **Discover**. 2. Search **Google**, open **Google Drive**, and read what it can do. Click **Connect to Claude**. 3. Pick your work Google account, read what Claude is asking for, and click **Continue**. 4. Repeat for **Gmail** and **Google Calendar**. Team or Enterprise: an Owner turns connectors on first. ## Use them in a chat - In a new chat, the **+** menu has **Connectors**. Each one has its own switch, for this chat only. - Ask plainly: "Find our 2026 price sheet in my Google Drive. What do we charge for a spring cleanup?" - **Used Google Drive** above the answer shows each tool call: a search, then reading one file. ## Approve each tool **Allow once** Lets this one tool call through. Good for anything new. **Always allow** Stops asking for that tool. Fine for low-risk reads like listing calendar events. **By default** Claude asks before it sends email, shares or moves files, or changes events. ## Change it later - **Customize > Connectors**, open a connector, then **Tool permissions**: **Always allow**, **Needs approval** or **Blocked** for each tool. - **Disconnect** at the top signs Claude out of that Google account. - Follow your company's rules on which accounts and data Claude may reach. **Remember:** Connect only what the work needs, allow reads you trust, and keep anything that sends, shares or changes on Needs approval.
