I want to integrate Google Drive on an Android application.
It looks like it's possible to integrate Google Drive using Google Drive APIs and Google Document List APIs.
Is there any issue to integrated Google Drive, like guidelines or rules?
I downloaded assets of Google Drive icons from Branding Guide Line. Is it OK to use any icons from them?
Is there any guide lines to integrate Google Drive on android application?
I checked the developer documents for Google Drive. It described them for Chrome Web Applications. I couldn't find any documents regarding Android applications. When will documents and guidelines for Android application be released?
I have some questions concerning Google Drive policy. Where can I get these policy questions?
Most of our branding guidelines ar described in this document as long as you follow them you should be fine using the assets and the Drive brand.
For your policy questions simply ask them here. If they have legal implication please send an email to legal#google.com, you may also try policy#google.com

I really love the new Google Sites!
Is there a way to Publish Sites through an API? It's great that we can create and share new Google Sites using the Google Drive API, but I can't see a way to publish a site using the API yet.
Is this feature available, or is there a plan to expose some functionality of the new Google Sites through an API?
The feature for Publishing Website is deprecated through Drive API. However, you can use Google Sites API which allows client application to access and modify Google Site data using Google Data API feeds. Using the API, applications can create and modify the content of a Google Site, upload and download attachments, review the revision history across a Site, and display recent user activity.
There is a single supported version of the Sites Data API. The documentation includes a guide for each supported way to use the API:
Java
Python
HTTP/XML (Protocol)
I want to list a new application that will integrate with the Drive UI. Should I list it on the Google Apps Marketplace?
This seems like an obvious "yes," but the documentation seems to say that I only need to upload a manifest file to the Chrome Web Store.
I've been very confused by seemingly contradictory docs and links across different brands, versions of documentation, etc. If anyone can share a succinct list of steps to making my app available to install on a Google Apps domain, I'd appreciate any tips!
You should list your Drive App on the Google Apps marketplace if you want Google Apps Customers use your app. You can list your apps for either Enterprise users or Consumers (gmail and the like) but not both. To list your Drive App in the Marketplace, make sure you specify "container": ["DOMAIN_INSTALLABLE", "GOOGLE_DRIVE"] in your manifest. Note that you should not specify the app member in the manifest as that would make it a consumer app and is not compatible with the Google Apps Marketplace.
We're constantly working to improve our documentation but your feedback is noted.
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 want to build desktop application for Windows OS and use Google Drive to save some data in the cloud. After reading Google Drive SDK I found that only Web-applications, were installed from Chrome Web Store are allowed to use API and have access to data on Google Drive.
So my question: do I have any way to build native client (C++, Windows) for Google Drive? I know about hacks with using Google Docs API - but they can stop working any time, and I want something stable. Why Google team do not allow me create desktop application for their service? I have support of many other cloud storages and they do not have such restrictions.
Thanks.
For now you will have to use the (older) Google Document List API which provides full read-write and list access to Google Drive. (Google Drive and the former Google Docs use the same data)
So until we extend the capabilities of the current Drive API to cover the Google Document List use case you should use that instead.
EDIT: We just launched the v2 of the Google Drive SDK so you should now use that instead.
I have been working on a similar problem. I have realized that there is no straight forward way for doing this. Google Drive SDK is not easy to work with and how someone can simplify the process of connecting desktop application to Google drive shortly. I know this is not much help, but I am looking for a soltuion as well.
Here is some links that I have come across, haven't solved my problem either, but if you come to a solution please let us know PLEASE:

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!
