The Google Drive SDK lets you
build apps that deeply integrate with Google Drive and today that integration is getting even
better: users can now easily discover, connect, and use your Drive-enabled app right within
Gmail.
When viewing attachments in Gmail, users will be able to open files with a connected app, just
like they can in Google Drive. And for certain file types, they’ll also see suggestions for
relevant Drive apps that let them to do more than just view their email attachments.
If users don’t see the app they want, the “Connect more apps” option makes
it easy for them to discover and connect with any compatible app, all without ever leaving
their inbox.
Browse and connect Drive and Gmail-enabled web
apps
If your Google Drive-enabled app is already listed in the Chrome Web Store's Drive collection,
you don't have to do a thing. Existing users of your app will see it appear as one of their
connected apps in Gmail, and new users will be able to search for it in the store.
If your web app isn’t yet Drive-enabled, check out our getting started guide to
ensure your app is ready for use by any Gmail and Drive user!
