Third-Party Web Apps In Google Drive

Google Integrates Third-Party Web Apps More Deeply Into Google Drive | TechCrunch: "Google just added the equivalent of an app store to Google Drive that lets you find Drive-enabled third-party apps like HelloFax, SlideRocket and the Open Office Document Reader right from within the service. Once installed, these apps now also live right in the Google Drive ‘Create’ menu. Until now, users had to go through the Chrome Web Store to findDrive-enabled third-party apps. As Google’s Nicolas Garnier writes this morning, the Drive SDK allows developers to offer users “an experience similar to how Google Docs and Google Sheets interact with Drive.”. . ."

Google Drive - share hosted websites by storing HTML, JavaScript, and CSS files

Google Drive now lets developers share hosted websites by storing HTML, JavaScript, and CSS files - The Next Web: "Google on Tuesday announced that it will allow Web developers to share hosted websites via Google Drive. All you have to do is store your HTML, JavaScript, and CSS files, and then share a link to your starting HTML file. In fact, Google is eating its own dog food by hosting the instructions on how to do this yourself, on Google Drive.

Here’s what you have to do:
Create a new folder in Drive and share it as “Public on the web.”
Upload your HTML, JS & CSS files to this folder.
Open the HTML file & you will see “Preview” button in the toolbar.
Share the URL that looks like www.googledrive.com/host/… from the preview window and anyone can view your web page.

It’s a small update, but certainly a welcome one for Web developers. If you build or design sites and need to demo your work for clients, this should be a very useful way to show off what you’ve got so far. . . ."

Publish your website on Google Drive (video)

Google Drive SDK: Publishing your website on Google Drive - YouTube: a new feature of the Google Drive SDK: the ability to publish a website from a Google Drive folder.

Announcing Google Drive Site Publishing - Google Apps Developer Blog: "Would you like to programmatically publish some web content? Or let your users do so in the context of your Drive app? This is possible now with Google Drive. Your app can now insert static web assets in a publicly shared folder, and then serve those files directly to users via file names in a relative path. Google Drive site publishing supports JavaScript, so it's even possible to run a JavaScript Drive app directly from Drive. Publishing from Drive is a simple, two-step dance: create a public folder and use a link to the root folder — the webViewLink — to publish its contents. You can refer to the Drive SDK documentation for full detail on how to work with public folders and content links, but basically the requirements are: The folder containing site assets must be public. Assets added to public folders must also be public on the web. Link to the files contained in the folder using the webViewLink (included in the folder’s JSON representation)."
