Basically, every issue could easily be just as crucial to an app as irrelevant to another one so I go as it feels right. I thought about ordering and prioritizing the issues, but I couldn’t come up with a decent enough rule for it. Most of my experience comes from Drive API v2… and well let’s just forget the GData era. At least, in this case, it’s good news :).Īlthough I already worked with some older services (like Documents List API, Spreadsheets API), and some newer ones (like Drive API v3, Sheets API v4). I just meant enterprise-level integration with a wide feature set and huge throughput, and preferably projects that have started years ago as the issues I’m about to describe resemble the rain forests. After I just wrote this sentence I already heard many of you cry out about how unjust I am with Drive - given that neither of the competitors is better. Sure, it certainly wasn’t the view it projected for the users and what you could see in the marketing bs - sorry material - for Google Apps - maiden name of G Suite -, but if you have ever tried to integrate with it you could certainly see the drawbacks and the indications that this wasn’t planned as an enterprise product with a scale like this. I think Google was surprised as well how popular it became in just a few years. Looking back we created solutions I never imagined we will, but it came with our fair share of mindf*ck along the way. Well, long time seems a bit over exaggerated given that it’s been only 5 years a few months ago, but due to the age of the whole product, I still feel like a Methuselah. I was lucky - well that is questionable, and you will see later why 😉 - enough to work with it for a rather long time. Due to the tight integration between the various G Suite products nowadays the need for enterprise solutions that use - or actually build upon - it increased a lot. With the initial release that happened over 10 years ago - when the currently widely used Drive moniker was nowhere to be found as it was Docs, Sheets, and Slides - it made online collaboration widespread. Obviously, from the users’ point-of-view it is a great product. You are most likely an avid user if you are reading this.
You can’t really exist on the web without ever encountering it. This is the first post of my series about working around Google Drive APIs.
