Fascinating. This seems like it may be a good feature, but I'd like to know how deep the integration needs to be before including it as a core "source". FileField Sources is easily extensible so that sources may be provided by other modules... this might be better suited for a separate project than part of FileField Sources directly.

Is there a sandbox for this feature yet? I'm interested in trying this out and help write some code.

There is already similar project on Drupal
http://drupal.org/project/google_picker
but it doesnt seem there is much progress and no released module yet.
Most interesting feature for me would be beeing able to select files from google Drive.
no sandbox yet.

Any fresh thoughts on this? It would make so much sense for this wonderful module as an alternative way of selecting images!

[NB http://drupal.org/project/google_picker has no release and seems dead.]

Issue summary:

View changes

Thought I'd chime in: In my use case, I was hoping to temporarily make a handful of files on google drive "public if URL is known" (client emailed PDFs to update on his Drupal site, so I did gmail's Save to Drive bit). Turns out filefield_sources wouldn't, however, accept that non-extension having URL. Nor could I trick it with a ?.pdf at the end. Also, fwiw, google drive has gotten just a smidge more difficult to get at viewing the document with all its previews and whatnot.

I'd consider the oddities of Google Drive before thinking about how deeply to integrate this into filefield_sources core. I love the module, but if it's as extensible as Nate suggests, give it a couple kicks as a contrib.
