Google Drive SDK, Gmail integration hinted at in Google Docs source code

Sean Buckley

Still wondering if Mountain View's Google Drive service will launch as a Google Docs rebranding? The folks at the Google Operating System blog have some code you might want to peek at, then. Apparently the Docs' source code mentions an SDK connected to the upcoming Google Drive, opening the door for third party app support. The code hints at deeper Gmail integration too, "Say goodbye to email attachments and hello to real time collaboration," it says, "Drag anything shared with you to My Drive for easy access." If Drive turns out to be more than a hefty Docs update, at the very least it seems clear that the new service will play nice with El Goog's other web apps -- after all, isn't that what that consolidated privacy policy is supposed to be about?

With Android Management Shakeup, Google Reveals The Broad Sweep Of Its Ambition

www.businessinsider.com Christopher Mims 67 days ago

Google’s master plan for mobile is finally coming into focus. The latest development: Andy Rubin, who has run the Android mobile operating system since 2004, even before it was acquired by Google, is stepping down. Taking over Android will be Sundar Pichai, currently the head of Google’s Chrome web browser and Chrome OS project. And here’s where Google shows its hand: Even as he takes on new responsibility for Google’s mobile strategy, Pichai will remain in charge of Chrome. Somewhere in the afterlife, Steve Jobs just yelled, “Boom!” Google is... Read similar

Smart calendar app Tempo speeds up your day

www.tuaw.com Michael Rose 95 days ago

Not to bother you with a study from the University of the Obvious, but if you think about the history of technologically-facilitated intelligent agents the goal always seems to be to sub in for a clever, always-on human personal assistant. There's a reason that hyper-busy, well-compensated folk have such staffers on the payroll: they make things easier. Need a file for that meeting, or background on the attendees? Running late and need to tell them? Want to know which flights are delayed before you head to the airport, or where to park near the place you're having lunch? With a personal assis... Read similar

Dropbox and Google Drive are two comparable cloud storage services. With a good amount of us using more than one device these days, tools like Dropbox and Drive can really come in handy for syncing and sharing files across multiple devices. Dropbox launched back in 2008, and has since grown to become the go-to service for cloud-based storage, especially for everyday consumers. As of November 2012, Dropbox claimed more than 100 million users. Drive, which launched last April, has just over 10 million users. Both Drive and Dropbox feature similar drag-and-drop syncing,...

Google Drive adds apps folders and customer properties for developers

www.tuaw.com Kelly Hodgkins 44 days ago

Google realizes the importance of its Drive online file storage service in our always on, always connected world. To make Drive better for users and developers alike, Google has added two new features, app data folders and custom properties, to its Drive SDK. The app data folder serves as a hidden storage space that developers can use to store configuration files and other important app data that shouldn't be changed by the user. Files stored within an app data folder are hidden from both the user and from other apps. Only your app can see what is stored within this location. It prevents oth... Read similar

Google has issued an update to its free Google Drive app for iPhone and iPad that adds some welcome new features and tweaks some existing ones.

PayPal introducing new iOS SDK, APIs at SXSW

www.tuaw.com Mike Schramm 72 days ago

PayPal has announced that it's bringing a new iOS SDK and some new API tools to SXSW next week. As you might expect, the API will allow apps to use PayPal's tools to integrate payment information directly rather than having to go through a separate authorization page. As you can see on the official website, devs will be able to simply use a few method calls to set up PayPal payments, and get proof back that payment has taken place. The API also includes credit card scanning software from Card.io, which PayPal acquired last year. And finally, PayPal's also released some code to work with othe... Read similar

Google Drive triples free storage to 15 GB

We were just talking about how Amazon is competing with Apple and other cloud services by offering 5 GB of storage for free.

Google adds Drive integration to new Gmail composer, ups attachment limit to 10 gigs

www.engadget.com Zach Honig 173 days ago

If you've used Gmail to send attachments, chances are you've hit that 25MB limit once or twice. Beginning today, Google is rolling out a new Drive integration feature, letting you insert files that you already have in the cloud, effectively boosting the limit 400 fold to 10 gigs. The feature isn't available to everyone just yet, but if you're using the new composer tool and see the Drive logo in the bottom toolbar, you should be good to go. Simply click the icon and choose your file -- if the intended recipient doesn't already have access, you'll be prompted to give them the nod. And, becaus... Read similar

Mailplane 3 now available

www.tuaw.com Victor Agreda, Jr. 34 days ago

Mailplane 3 just came out of beta, and it's great. I've been using the beta for a while, and saw stability and speed improve with each iteration. While Gmail works great in a browser, there's something about having a dedicated application, as opposed to a Chrome SSB or Fluid instance. Mailplane actually is a wrapper for Gmail, but it's a bit like having a browser just for Gmail with access to many OS X goodies and 3rd party add-ons. Before Google added multiple account switching, for example, Mailplane allowed you to easily switch between different Gmail accounts (it still does, and it's eas... Read similar
