ShareWatch

ShareWatch lets Claude create, read, and edit Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides without seeing the rest of your Drive.

Most Drive integrations ask for access to everything. ShareWatch uses Google's drive.file scope instead, so Claude can only reach files that someone has shared through the ShareWatch picker, plus files it creates itself. Google treats everything else as if it doesn't exist and never returns it to the connector.

Once a file is shared, Claude can draft and format Docs with real headings, lists, and links, build and update multi-tab Sheets, create and revise Slides presentations, convert uploaded files to Google formats, and organize, search, and move files within the folders you've opened up.

For individuals, control is one click in each direction. Share a file from the picker, or block it again whenever you want. New files Claude creates go to a default folder you pick.

For organizations, ShareWatch makes AI file access something you can govern and audit. Admins can block any file or folder with a recorded reason. Blocked requests return an audit reference that the user can hand to their admin, so exceptions go through a process instead of a workaround. Access attempts are written to an audit log that admins can review. Business plans add SSO, DLP protections that keep sensitive content from leaving your workspace, and SIEM integration that streams access events to Splunk, with support for other platforms available on request. And since the connector never holds broad Drive permissions, a security review covers one narrow grant rather than tenant-wide Drive access, which makes ShareWatch far easier to approve for teams rolling out Claude under compliance requirements.

ShareWatch works the same way for one person drafting reports and for a company putting Claude to work across Workspace. Claude gets enough access to be useful, and you decide exactly how much that is.
