Currently the support for Google API support is extremely limited and slow from the server-side implementation. The flow of requests, following the current implementation, resembles the following:

  • User requests to view Google Drive files
  • User permits BrowseEverything to access Google Drive files over OAuth2
  • Rails server (via BrowseEverything) requests a page of all Google Drive files
    • If this is does not retrieve all files, the requests are continuously sent
    • If the results need to be filtered (in some cases they may need to be), more requests will also be sent
  • The Rails server provides, in the response, JSON-API transformed resources

Rather than using the Rails API to support asynchronous, JavaScript-driven file browsing, I would like to propose that we instead use https://developers.google.com/picker/
