About

The Drive Android API is a native API that conforms to standard Android best practices and coding conventions. It is an improvement over the generated client API, simplifying many common tasks associated with using the Drive service on mobile devices. The API automatically handles previously complex tasks such as offline access and syncing files. This allows you to read and write files as if Drive were a local file system.
