Interface with Google Drive?

Post by es_91 »

Hey.

Google Drive interface is part of SpiderBasic. Can one bind it into a PureBasic file so that the later can upload and download editable files from and to the Drive?

Greetings

Doesn't it just behave as though it were a desktop drive? In which case, there isn't anything special to do.

If it sounds simple, you have not grasped the complexity.

Hey, I'm not experienced. Thought you'd have to do a lot of html work to connect to it...

This is what Google say:
Add files to Drive from your PC and they sync with your other devices — automatically.
So, download and install on your PC https://www.google.com/drive/download/
You need a Google Account, which you probably already have for gMail.
Once installed, you will see the 'Google Drive' folder on your PC. For example on Win7 it's in Libraries\Documents\Google Drive.
Just save your files to that folder. Note, if you have the combination of <lots of large files + slow broadband + slow computer>, you can expect a performance hit.
