Learnings on Google Content APIs
This document contains my learnings on Google Content APIs.
By Content APIs i mean the combined set of APIs including Drive, Docs , Sheets and Slides.
Design Concepts
Google UI/Editors are not decoupled with the backend like MS WOPI APIs. They have to be used alongwith the Google Storage.
Google Docs/Sheets/Slides APIs can be used to edit and modify the content of the docs stored in Google Storage.
Google Drive is the backend of Google Docs/Sheets/Slides.
Google Drive APIs can be used for faceless interactions. Ids between Google Drive and Google Docs can be shared.
My Drive is specific to the user.
Shared Drive is specific to a team and is only available in Enterprise Accounts.
Google Cloud Storage is completely different and is not interoperable with Google Drive.
