- Detecta automáticamente el tipo MIME del archivo
- Permite especificar carpeta destino con `--parent` y nombre con `--name`

## Use it when

- Cuando se necesita subir un archivo a Google Drive desde la línea de comandos
- Cuando se quiere subir a una carpeta específica usando `--parent FOLDER_ID`

## What triggers it

- "Sube ./report.pdf a Google Drive"
- "Sube ./data.csv a Drive con el nombre 'Sales Data.csv'"
- "Sube este archivo a la carpeta FOLDER_ID de Drive"

## Before you install

- Requiere el binario `gws` y haber leído gws-shared/SKILL.md para autenticación, flags globales y reglas de seguridad; además es un comando de escritura que debe confirmarse con el usuario antes de ejecutarse.

# drive +upload

> **PREREQUISITE:** Read `../gws-shared/SKILL.md` for auth, global flags, and security rules. If missing, run `gws generate-skills` to create it.

Upload a file with automatic metadata

## Usage

```bash
gws drive +upload <file>
```

## Flags

| Flag | Required | Default | Description |
|------|----------|---------|-------------|
| `<file>` | ✓ | — | Path to file to upload |
| `--parent` | — | — | Parent folder ID |
| `--name` | — | — | Target filename (defaults to source filename) |

## Examples

```bash
gws drive +upload ./report.pdf
gws drive +upload ./report.pdf --parent FOLDER_ID
gws drive +upload ./data.csv --name 'Sales Data.csv'
```

## Tips

- MIME type is detected automatically.
- Filename is inferred from the local path unless --name is given.

> [!CAUTION]
> This is a **write** command — confirm with the user before executing.
