# Google Drive

Learn how to use the Google Drive node in n8n. Follow technical documentation to integrate Google Drive node into your workflows.

Use the Google Drive node to automate work in Google Drive, and integrate Google Drive with other applications. n8n has built-in support for a wide range of Google Drive features, including creating, updating, listing, deleting, and getting drives, files, and folders.

On this page, you'll find a list of operations the Google Drive node supports and links to more resources.

## What to do if your operation isn't supported

If this node doesn't support the operation you want to do, you can use the [HTTP Request node](/integrations/builtin/core-nodes/n8n-nodes-base.httprequest.md) to call the service's API.

You can use the credential you created for this service in the HTTP Request node:

1. In the HTTP Request node, select **Authentication** > **Predefined Credential Type**.
2. Select the service you want to connect to.
3. Select your credential.

Refer to [Custom API operations](/integrations/builtin/custom-api-actions-for-existing-nodes.md) for more information.
