Watch for Drive Changes

Subscribe to change notifications on a Google Drive file or folder using Workspace Events.

When to Use

Use this workflow when the user wants to be notified when files in a Drive folder are created, updated, or deleted — useful for monitoring shared folders.

Workflow

1. Prerequisites

Ensure the user has full scopes and a GCP project with Pub/Sub:

gws auth status

If missing pubsub scope: gws auth login --full

2. Create the subscription

gws events subscriptions create \
  --json '{"targetResource": "//drive.googleapis.com/drives/DRIVE_ID", "eventTypes": ["google.workspace.drive.file.v1.updated"], "notificationEndpoint": {"pubsubTopic": "projects/PROJECT/topics/TOPIC"}, "payloadOptions": {"includeResource": true}}'

3. Verify the subscription

gws events subscriptions list --format table

4. Set up renewal reminders

Subscriptions expire — renew before expiry:

gws events +renew --subscription SUBSCRIPTION_ID

Safety

This creates a real-time notification pipeline — confirm the user understands the Pub/Sub costs
Verify the GCP project and topic are correct

Tips

Event types: google.workspace.drive.file.v1.created, .updated, .trashed
Use "includeResource": true to get file metadata in notifications
Subscriptions typically last 7 days before needing renewal
