Google Drive SDK

This is somewhat off topic but I have found it mildly humourous lately that Google is building self driving cars but they chose "Google Drive" as the name for a completely unrelated product.

They've had "DrEdit," a plain text editor, as their example Drive app for a while now. Kind of ironic, since you <i>still</i> can't edit plain text files in the vanilla Google Drive web app.

(Slightly off-topic) What I feel gives Google Drive a leverage over Dropbox is the fact that it works within email. There isn't another place I need to go to share something. I just go to the place I am at and share. The people who I want to share with are already there. This works for well for both, Google's general audience as well as those SMBs that use Google mail for their work mail (read: with a domain, so it even layers a "group thing" there).

They should have released this immediately after they released Google Drive.

Why no "C" api?

What has bothered me most about Google Drive lately, is that when I try to open an epub file from Drive, even if I make it available offline, it doesn't want to open the file in the selected book reader. Is that Google's fault or the book reader app's fault (it supports epub, obviously). This is on Android.

Sorry but Google Drive is by far the worst out of all online storage/sync providers.<p>Crashes constantly for Mac users and has awful upload/download speeds. And they have made zero effort to do anything about it for over a year. You only have to look through the forum to see their commitment in general is pretty lax.
