🐛 Bug Report: Google Drive MCP Tools - No Shared ...
# 🖥│support-forum
a
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: log_TLShuElYJ87c log_7MhgcYMsQkTK log_4sykH8us0Yyd log_OTL8OdXlEo3d 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!

Hey there, thanks for flagging this. I've escalated this to the team and they'll be taking a look. I'll keep you updated!

Can I ask you one thing? How did you set up your mcp servers for drive and then connect that to n8n? Because I have done all these steps, still don't know how the n8n mcp client is going to do the authentication part?

Thanks a lot. I somehow figured it out, you can actually start a mcp server and connect an account then get the link and add that for the mcp client on n8n

Hey @aledrin, we've added support for Shared drive for the above tools. Lmk if you face any issue.
