Google looking for a small set of developers committed to building apps for Google Drive


If interested by the opportunity to shape the direction of the Google Drive SDK or committed to building apps for Google Drive, henceforth you can join the Google Drive SDK early access program.
For those who unfamiliar, Google Drive is an online app that allows you to backup, storage, and share your files (video, song, text, and image). Its equivalent at Microsoft is Skydrive, Mega at Mega, Dropbox at Dropbox. 


Google announces that: ‘’Participants will get early access to upcoming features and the opportunity to shape the direction of the SDK. This is an ongoing program covering multiple aspects of the API, and there are two new features that we're ready to share with developers.’’

Google Drive Realtime API:
Some of you might have already heard of the upcoming Google Drive Realtime API at Google IO 2012. The Google Drive Realtime API will allow you to use the technology that powers the realtime collaboration features of Google products such as Google Docs and Google Sheets in your own application. It will handle all aspects of data transmission, storage, and conflict resolution when multiple users are editing.
We are looking for trusted testers for what will be a short and intense pre-release phase of the Drive Realtime API. Good candidates will be:
  • People who are able to start testing and integrating the API very soon ( next week!)
  • Web based applications: The API is currently JavaScript-only
  • Those who have a good use case for a realtime technology (like web based editors or even web based games...)
  • Committed to having their integration ready for the launch of the API
Google Drive API Push Notifications:
Push Notifications will allow you to get near-instant notifications when files are modified in Google Drive. In the past you would typically have had to frequently poll the Drive API to check if files have been modified to obtain similar results, Push notifications aims to make this efficient.
You can now fill out a Google signup form to tell them more about your use case and they will contact you shortly.
