How to store JSON data into the user's Google drive storage.
<html>
<head>
<!--
In this example, I started with the 5-minute example provided by Google
on the following page:
https://developers.google.com/drive/
I modified the example code, so that I could write the following
Javascript object as a json string into a file called
csusbdt-drive-example-app-state.txt.
var appState = {
number: 12,
text: 'hello'
};
