Consider: (1) Accurate design of the cloud concept (2) Long time since the early introduction, be it under a different name than just 'Drive' (3) Presentation by a company with a reputation (4) Proven track record of the feature and number of performing users,
use of Drive Realtime API for programming applications is safe especially if programmers:
(A) Invest in creating applications with the API (B) Report as needed in more detail about any shortcoming or wish (C) Present the usefulness of their applications to many people.
Does it mean better integration of Google Drive into Android? Unable to send images/files through Messaging or Email via Google Drive. Email only allows for file link(share) not direct sending of files located on Google Drive.
Sorry but the last thing I need is some dolt pooping around while I am writing text. Somethings just dont need realtime collaboration. At least thats what I am thinking. Ar least for writing code.
The two other apps (gantter and draw.io) as well as the two demo apps (the Cube and the Playground) use that more restrictive permission so yes the API works with that mor restrictive permission scheme. Neutron Drive is asking for the full permission because they have implemented their own file explorer.
Can users collaborate and edit without logging into their Google Accounts? Similar to how users would edit a publicly available Google Document without permissions?
Developers authorize and create API with Google and the actual document would belong to the Developer. I scanned through the docs but could not find this. This feature is critical to let developers build collaborative docs without requiring Google login
Is offline capability planned, or is there a recommended pattern for developers who roll their own? It seems to have limited offline capability already (if I don't refresh my browser while offline, or immediately after reconnecting, then things evetually sync in the demo app).
I've really been looking forward, to this... Having read the docs I still have a few unanswered questions. Where should I go to discuss this, request clarifications, etc?
On another note, databinding and OT for content editable would be aawesome. Even if it's just for some lightweight rich text editor.
And prepare to rewrite whatever you use this API in when Google discontinues this API in three years.
ReplyDeleteHow long until this api joins the list?

Or they they radically readjust the price so it puts you out of business.
Your point is legit but why not use it before you need to rewrite it? It's still cheaper than write it now.

This is incredible. Google's willingness to provide the world with "betterness" is changing life as we know it...
ReplyDeleteThanks! Very useful information.
ReplyDeleteLooks good.

Hey Ray, I think in this case the best is to simply not "share" you files with others :)
DeleteI was going to try "Neutron", but I had to give it permission to view all the files in my Google Drive.
ReplyDeleteDoes this API support apps that can view all of the files created by the app, but not other files?

Not at this point, although this is something we are looking into.
DeleteSomewhat useless to us until Google provides Drive support for Linux.

ReplyDeleteI'm interested in offline capability as well.
