Does Google Drive API have an api to show the storage upgrade link?
I mean a link which can let user to buy more space.
Like Google One, https://one.google.com/plans
Thanks.
The google drive api is a file storage api. It gives you access to the data beind the google drive web application. It does not give you any control over the google drive web application itself.
Upgrade storage link is outside the scope for this api.
I saw that Google has release Google Photos, but there is no API for Google Photos, only Picasa Web Album, but the problem is the API support for Picasaweb limit by 100MB, so can we do the cheat upload same as the browser (Picasa web or Google Photos upload) to upload video larger than 100MB?
I've do the analytics the header package of Picasa/Photos when trying to upload a video, look like it's use the resumable technical to upload video.
When I do the analytics of Picasaweb upload, I've saw that it's use the docs.google.com domain to handle the upload, so is there any relating between the Google Drive and Picasa? I mean can we upload video/image to Picasa through Google Drive?
Thanks.
While uploading a video to Picasa cannot be achieved either by the Picasa API or Drive API, you can upload the video to your Drive account, with a file of up to 5120GB.
To be able to do this, you should implement a Resumable Upload, splitting the file into chunks of the same size, and uploading one by one. The process is fully documented and described here: https://developers.google.com/drive/web/manage-uploads#resumable
I'm trying to build a Google+ App which uploads profile picture Using API JavaScript SDK. Is there any way to upload Google+ profile picture?
There is no Google+ api that is available to developers. If you are working within your own domain you can do this with the Google Directory Api.
var newPhoto = AdminDirectory.newUserPhoto().photoData = (Utilities.base64Encode(photoBlob));
AdminDirectory.Users.Photos.update(newPhoto, "user#myDomain.org");
I was trying to upload files to google drive from a Desktop Application, but i couldnt find how to do it with Google Drive API since that is based for google browser apps. For this matter should i use Google Drive API or Documments API?
You can use both Drive API or Documents List API to achieve, but the Drive API has the additional requirement that Apps need to be installed (for now) from the Chrome Web Store. Once installed, if you authorize the user with OAuth 2.0, you can use the Drive API in a desktop app.
I was wondering if the Google Drive API is going to generate multiple Thumbnail images for uploaded Photos to Google Drive in the near future. I am a developer of Cloud Photos (iOS App), and our integration with Dropbox and Facebook (coming soon) is powered by these thumbnail images generated for each photo uploaded to their service. I know we are very interested in integrating Google Drive, and generating thumbnails for uploaded Images would allow many developers with photo based apps to integrate with Google Drive.
This is not currently supported but something we could add in the future with a Picasa/Drive integration. There are no finite plans to implement this at the moment though.
Thanks for the feature request and for the feedback!
