Set Up 9Drive With Your AI Agent

Your files are spread across accounts. Give your AI agent the setup job, then open the dashboard when it is ready.

Before you paste

Open your agent with local terminal access and a Chrome connector enabled. Sign in to the Google accounts you want to connect. A regular chat window alone cannot install this on your computer. You may need to finish sign-in and consent yourself.

Use Claude or a ChatGPT-based agent environment that provides both tools. Availability depends on your setup.

Copy this prompt

Paste this into your agent. It tells the agent to handle the setup and return the actual working link.

Copy-paste this
Set up 9Drive for me from https://github.com/zenhosta/9drive. Read the current README and use the recommended local setup. Do the work, not just give me instructions.

Use your Chrome connector with my existing signed-in Chrome profile for Google Cloud setup and connecting the Google Drive accounts I choose. Use your terminal for installation. Check these tools are available first; if either is missing, tell me exactly what to enable. Never extract browser cookies or passwords.

Install and configure the app with strong random secrets stored locally. Set up the required Google project, Drive API, OAuth client, redirect URLs and test users. Let me handle sign-in, MFA and consent when required. Connect only my selected accounts, preserve existing files, and keep the app local. Don't purchase services or enable billing.

Verify it works with a small test upload, search and preview. Return the working dashboard link, which accounts connected, and how to stop and restart it. If anything is blocked, say what is unfinished. Don't call it complete until it actually works.

Open your dashboard

When the agent finishes, open the link it returns. Keep the local app running while you use it.

9Drive source and setup instructions

9Drive uses the storage you already have. It does not create unlimited storage. Google connection requires Drive permissions, so review the consent screen before connecting.

Frequently asked questions

No. Your agent needs both a local terminal and access to your Chrome session through a browser connector. The prompt checks for both first.

No. Use your existing browser session and complete any sign-in or consent yourself. Do not paste passwords or session cookies into chat.

A local dashboard link works on the computer running the app. Phone or remote access needs separate networking setup; this prompt keeps it local.
