What it does

When installed, the agent can run a ready-made command using the gws command-line tool to list the 20 Google Drive files using the most storage, showing each file's name, ID, size, type and owner in a table. It then reviews that list and suggests which files might be archived or moved to free up space. It depends on the separate gws-drive skill being loaded as well.

Great for

  • Anyone running low on Google Drive storage who wants a quick list of space hogs
  • Google Workspace admins or power users cleaning up shared or old files
  • People who prefer the agent to do the searching and suggest candidates rather than scrolling Drive manually

Skip it if

  • Users who have not installed and authenticated the gws command-line tool, since the recipe cannot run without it and access to their Drive account
  • Anyone wanting automatic deletion or moving: the skill only lists files and suggests actions, but the agent could act on suggestions if asked, so review changes yourself
  • Non-Google storage such as Dropbox or OneDrive, which this skill does not cover

Try asking

  • “Find my 20 largest Google Drive files and tell me which ones I could archive”
  • “Show me what's using the most space in my Drive”
  • “Which big files in my Drive are owned by me and could be moved to cheaper storage?”
