What it does: This recipe instructs an agent to list Google Drive files ordered by quota usage, showing the largest items with their IDs, names, sizes, MIME types and owners. It then has the agent review that output to spot files that could be archived or moved. It produces a ranked view of the biggest storage consumers rather than modifying any files.
When to use it: Use it when a Drive account is running low on storage and you need to find which files take up the most space. It suits cleanup or archiving decisions where a quick ranked list of large files is the goal.
Requirements: Requires the gws command-line binary and the gws-drive skill to be loaded. It needs authenticated access to Google Drive and network connectivity. It ships no scripts; it is instructions only.
