What's Wrong?
The Google Drive connector shows as "Connected" in claude.ai Settings → Connectors, but Claude cannot access any Google Drive tools during chat sessions. Gmail and Google Calendar connectors work correctly in the same session.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Go to claude.ai Settings → Connectors
  2. Connect Google Drive (shows as "Connected")
  3. Start a new chat and ask Claude to access Google Drive
  4. Claude reports no Google Drive tools are available

Expected Behavior
Google Drive tools should be available in chat, the same way Gmail and Google Calendar tools are.

Actual Behavior
Connector UI shows "Connected" but Claude cannot access any Drive files. Disconnecting and reconnecting multiple times does not resolve the issue.

Additional Context

  • Gmail: ✅ Working
  • Google Calendar: ✅ Working
  • Google Drive: ❌ Not loading despite showing Connected
  • Issue persists across multiple reconnection attempts and new chat sessions

Platform
Claude.ai web interface

What Should Happen?

Google Drive tools should be available in chat, the same way Gmail and Google Calendar tools are.
