Google Drive is a file storage and synchronization service developed by Google. The Google Drive API allows you to create apps that leverage Google Drive cloud storage. You can develop applications that integrate with Google Drive, and create robust functionality in your application using Google Drive API.
With Google Drive API, you can:
- Download files from Google Drive and Upload files to Google Drive.
- Search for files and folders stored in Google Drive. Create complex search queries that return any of the file metadata fields in the Files resource.
- Let users share files, folders and drives to collaborate on content.
- Combine with the Google Picker API to search all files in Google Drive, then return the file name, URL, last modified date, and user.
- Create shortcuts that are external links to data stored outside of Drive, in a different data store or cloud storage system.
- Create a dedicated Drive folder to store your application’s data so that the app cannot access all the user's content stored in Google Drive.
- Integrate with the Google Drive UI, which is Google's standard web UI you can use to interact with Drive files.
