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!

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 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
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've a small self-hosted website hosted on my home server via no-ip.com, wonder if it's legit/possible to use Google maps on it and what would be the viable options if not?
What do you mean with "to use Google maps on it"?
If you just want to allow your users to see a map and navigate on it, it is possible. Google has published a SDK (Google Maps API) that allows other people to interrogate Google servers, collect data (maps), show maps to users and perform a few operations related to positioning and navigation. There is a web (javascript) toolkit for this here:
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/
Other info here:
https://developers.google.com/maps/
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/
If you want to host a clone of the Google Mpas service on your PC, then no, this is not possible (both for legal and technical reasons).
A well-known, largely appreciated alternative to Google Maps is openstreetmap:

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
