Questions tagged [google-drive-api]

Questions related to integration with Google's cloud storage service or interacting with Google Drive files programmatically, via the Google Drive API, Google Drive SDK, or Google Apps Script. Usage questions about the web application should be posted at Web Applications Stack Exchange.

Google Drive is a cloud-based application and service for creating and managing cloud storage and files. The service supports an internal API for Google Apps Script as well as an External API.

Usage questions about the web application should be posted at Web Applications Stack Exchange instead of here.

Note: Google has used the brand "Google Drive" to encompass a suite of products, but since conforming to that would introduce ambiguity here, the tag is specifically for the cloud storage service while refers to the suite.

Note: Google Drive will soon be renamed to Google One.
