codex - 💡(How to fix) Fix Google Drive connector should support creating files in a specific folder [1 participants]

I am using Codex automations with the Google Drive connector.

Current problem: The Google Drive connector can create a native Google Doc, but the create_file action does not let me choose the destination folder. The file gets created, but it is not placed inside the folder my automation needs.

Needed capability: Please add an optional parent_folder_id parameter to the Google Drive create_file action.

Desired shape: create_file( title: string, mime_type: string, parent_folder_id?: string )

Example: Create a Google Doc named "2026-04-30 Daily Brief" inside folder: 1zHAxnVkrYvdevAq3F7I0NmOGC6fVHx3-

Expected behavior: If parent_folder_id is provided, create the file directly inside that Drive folder. If parent_folder_id is omitted, keep the current behavior.

Why this matters: Recurring automations need predictable output filing. For example, my daily brief automation reads from Google Drive and should save the completed brief into a Daily_Briefs folder. Right now Codex can create the document, but cannot file it in the correct folder.

Suggested implementation: This maps to the Google Drive API files.create request using the parents field:

{ "name": "2026-04-30 Daily Brief", "mimeType": "application/vnd.google-apps.document", "parents": ["1zHAxnVkrYvdevAq3F7I0NmOGC6fVHx3-"] }
