Permissions and Security

• The tools operate with the permissions of the service account you configured
• To access user-specific files, you'll need to share those files with the service account email
• For shared drives, the service account needs to be added as a member of the shared drive

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues:

1. Verify that the Google Drive API is enabled in your Google Cloud project
2. Check that the service account has the necessary permissions
3. Ensure the credentials JSON is correctly formatted and complete
4. For "File not found" errors, verify that the file exists and is accessible to the service account
