## Description

An actively maintained fork of Anthropic's archived reference Google Drive server that fixes a critical OAuth token auto-refresh bug preventing sessions from lasting beyond one hour. Extends the original with additional tools for downloading files to disk, reading Google Sheets with A1 range notation, exporting Workspace files as PDF, uploading files, and browsing folder contents. Supports Shared Drives and provides configurable opt-in controls for write operations and resource handlers.
