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 want to upload videos directly from website to google drive or picasa or any free google service, make it public and get its link on my web, is it possible with google drive api ?
We are building an app where we needs to access files stored at google drive.
We are able to run our app other than google tv.
Reason found so far:-
Google Play Services are not available for google TV.
us there any alternative to access Google Drive File at Google TV.
Thanks

You should be able to do the OAUTH2 in a WebView and use the raw api's. https://developers.google.com/drive/
and
https://developers.google.com/drive/quickstart-java
You'll probably need to use different support libraries for TV.
I have been looking for quite some time and cannot seem to find the answer I need. I tried using the iframe tag method for Google Docs Viewer to view my files and noticed that pptx, xlsx, etc... PDF seems to be the only one that is visible. So I came to the conclusion I have to use Google Drive and it's API. If that is so, my question is... Can I keep these files hosted on my clients server and use the API to view the files or do they have to be hosted on Google Drive's cloud server? Thank you.
No, this is not possible, sorry. All files are stored on the Google Drive cloud servers.
Let's say I push up a video to Google Drive. I share the video link with various users, is there a way to obtain the # of bytes served, and by whom or of some unique ID?
Sorry, this data is not available from the API. Of course if you are downloading and serving the files through your app, you can generate it yourself.
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!
