Description Alex Hultman 2013-12-05 11:02:37 UTC 
I think this feature could improve the use of Google Drive in a GNOME environment. Google has no official client and GNOME already have support for Mail, Calendar, Contacts, Chat, and Documents. So why not support for Drive.

We would need a GVfs backend based on libgdata for this. However, I am not sure how feasible it would be to shoehorn Google Drive's semantics into the GVfs abstraction which assumes a UNIX-like hierarchical filesystem.

Reassigning to gvfs.

There is this unfinished attempt at writing a Google backend for GVfs:
