Google Drive Android AP shutdown announced
Google has started to send messages about the service shutdown.
We found that one or more of your apps is using the Google Drive Android API, which will be shut down on December 6, 2019. Affected apps are listed at the end of this email. On December 6, 2018, we announced that we're simplifying options for developers by retiring the Google Drive Android API. We will focus solely on expanding functionality for the Google Drive REST API. [...]
@JcDenton86 do you have plans to migrate this plugin to support the new API?
Here's the timeline for the Google Drive Android API shutdown:
December 6, 2018 | Deprecation is publicly announced. Existing clients will be able to access the API normally, but should immediately commence with migration efforts. New clients must not use the API. October 21, 2019 | The Drive Android API is removed from the Google Play Services SDK distribution. Apps will be unable to build until removing the Drive Android API dependency, but existing builds will be unaffected. The Drive Android API public documentation will no longer be available. December 6, 2019 | The Drive Android API is shut down and all connection attempts will be refused. Clients must migrate by this date.
They suggest using Drive REST API to access files from the Google Drive in apps https://github.com/gsuitedevs/android-samples/tree/master/drive/deprecation but at the same time they announce that:
Support for storing and syncing in the app data folder will likely be removed from Drive in the future. Clients requiring app data storage are strongly encouraged to migrate to a non-Drive solution such as Cloud Firestore.
Because most implementations of the plugin for Google Drive API used app data folder I assume the plugin is dead now and has no future as Google encourages to switch to the Cloud Firestore. We still have DropBox but it's not that convenient.
@JcDenton86 Maybe you have other thoughts?
Is there any other way to achieve Google Drive Integration from Cordova apps? Could anyone help with this?
I believe that Google Drive API itself is the only way left. Although there's a learning curve and there aren't much resources available online regarding this matter. Even Google's own documentation is not good enough.
