Im try create and manage folders structures within Google Shared Drives (Team Drives), including copying folders, creating new folders, and copying files.
All Google Drive MCP tools that interact with files/folders in Shared Drives fail with 404 "File not found" errors, even though the files/folders exist and are accessible. The tools work fine with "My Drive" but cannot access Shared Drive resources.
The MCP tools are not passing the supportsAllDrives=true query parameter to the Google Drive API, which is required for all operations on Shared Drive resources.
Logs:

Affected Tools
- GOOGLEDRIVE_CREATE_FILE
- GOOGLEDRIVE_CREATE_FOLDER
- GOOGLEDRIVE_COPY_FILE
- GOOGLEDRIVE_DOWNLOAD_FILE
- GOOGLEDRIVE_EDIT_FILE
- And others...
This is a critical limitation that makes the Google Drive MCP tools unusable for:
- Enterprise/business users (who primarily use Shared Drives)
- Any automation involving Shared Drive resources
- Collaborative workflows requiring Shared Drive access
Currently, there is no workaround using MCP tools. Users must manually perform all Shared Drive operations through the Google Drive UI.
Thanks for your help!
