Delphi and Google Drives - API Information

Question

You can crucify me for this, but the link to the "Support-Drive API" on the Google SDK website itself brought me here - on the SO forum, to ask a new question, so that’s exactly what I’m going to like I didn’t find another useful information elsewhere.

Is there any way at all, and if so, where can I get any documentation / help / examples for accessing Google Drive from my delphi application? The online SDK seems to allow only iOS, Web and Android devices to be used ... no desktop api?

I know about the TAdvGDrive component that comes with the Tms Cloud Pack, but I'm looking for a solution that would not cost me $ 100 to do this.

Any information appreciated!

Answer 1

I did this with REST (unfortunately, I cannot post the code here because it was a private job for the client). In any case, you can check the Google Drive API here. Starting with Delphi XE5, you can use the REST Client Library (If you are using an older version of Delphi, you can use Indy or another library to create the base REST library). I don't know a single example about using the Google Drive REST and Delphi SDKs, but you can start reading the App and checking out the Google documentation. RESTDemo Sample

UPDATE

I just found an article to access the Google Drive SDK using REST and Delphi here .
