Google Calendar and Google Drive

Foxl can use your Google Calendar and read your Google Drive through the same Google connection as Gmail. Each is off unless you turn it on, and its switch appears only when it is available for your Foxl account.

What Foxl asks Google forCopy Anchor Link

Foxl never asks for Google's full Calendar permission (calendar, which can also share and permanently delete your calendars) or full Drive permission (drive, which can edit, create and delete files). If Google's screen grants Foxl anything wider than you chose, Foxl revokes what it was given and connects nothing.

ConnectCopy Anchor Link

You need the Foxl desktop app, signed in to your Foxl account.

1. Open Settings > Tools > Integrations and choose Gmail.
2. Turn on Also let Foxl use your Google Calendar, Also let Foxl read your Google Drive, or both. The text under each switch says what it allows.
3. Select Continue to Gmail, choose your Google account and allow the permissions you want.

You can also just ask in a chat, for example "What's on my calendar on Friday?" or "Find the Q3 plan in my Drive": when the task needs Calendar or Drive, it is available for your Foxl account and it is not connected yet, Foxl shows a Connect card in the chat. Connecting keeps what your Google connection already allows, such as sending mail.

Google CalendarCopy Anchor Link

With Google Calendar on, the calendar tool reads every calendar on your Google Calendar list, next to the other calendars it reads (this Mac's Calendar app, the calendars Foxl Notes reads, and iCloud or Naver over CalDAV):

• Reading and free time - the events between two dates, and your free slots within working hours. A calendar that could not be read is said, never treated as a free day.
• Adding, moving and removing - an event you ask for is added to your main calendar (or the one you name), moved, renamed or removed at once, and the chat shows the change with Undo. To undo it, Foxl keeps the event's title, times, place and notes on your computer for 30 days.

What it never does: invite anyone, send an update or cancellation to other people, change an event that other people are on, or change an event that repeats. Tell Foxl, and it says to make that change in Google Calendar.

Google DriveCopy Anchor Link

With Google Drive on, the google_drive tool can:

• search - your files by the words in their names and contents, narrowed to documents, spreadsheets, presentations, PDFs or folders, or to files changed after a date.
• read - one file's text: a Google Doc or Slides as text, a spreadsheet's first sheet, a PDF's text, or a text file, 20,000 characters at a time.

It never changes, moves, shares or deletes a file, and it does not save files on your computer; the text it read stays in that conversation.

Where what it read goesCopy Anchor Link

Reading happens on your computer, directly with Google. What Foxl reads goes to the AI model that handles that request, under that provider's terms, the same way as anything else you share in a chat, and becomes part of that conversation. When you use Foxl from your phone or app.foxl.ai, the conversation passes through Foxl Relay, which does not store it. Event text and files can be written by other people, so Foxl tells the model they are data, not instructions to follow.

DisconnectCopy Anchor Link

Open Settings > Tools > Integrations, choose Gmail, then Disconnect. Foxl asks Google to revoke the access and deletes its copy. You can always remove the access yourself at myaccount.google.com/connections. To keep Gmail but stop Calendar or Drive, disconnect and connect again with that switch off.
