Chiming in just to state how much this plugin is appreciated.

I've tried 3.3 and folder navigation works fine. Clearly the "final" solution would be being able to add Google Drive as a regular source but I'm not sure if this will ever be doable (as long as Google fails to provide a WebDAV access). On the other hand, I've seen plugins such as Torrent/Pulsar that were able to retrieve fanart/info/thumbs for series, so maybe at least that could be doable.

I've read all the thread and I've seen mention of library integration but I don't understand whether that will require an extra plugin (MyLibrary?) or what else.

Lastly, while playing back file straight from Drive (no transcoding, memory/disk cache option) does the plugin follow the regular buffer settings, as explained here: http://kodi.wiki/view/HOW-TO:Modify_the_cache and what would be the best settings, if disk space was not a problem (I'm on SSD, with enough space for whatever single video I might choose to watch, so writing and reading shouldn't be problematic).

Thanks again!

Edit: would love to donate for continued development but couldn't find an option.

Scraping for fanart, info and thumbnails is something I'm planning on for this and the other cloud service plugins. It'll still have a human element to help classify content. I'm leaning towards storing the information in a google spreadsheet (since we're reading google docs as it is). I'm also leaning towards allowing folks to index their media files based on a spreadsheet, rather than the My Drive layout in your google drive.

Memory follows the regular buffer settings. Disk does right now as well, but the goal is to allow users to define the disk element within the plugin itself -- to define how the file is cached, whether the file is to remain local after playback, and when to start playback of the file.

I'm standardizing the API among the cloud service plugins that I've developed so that when I introduce a feature in one, I'll be able to rapidly deploy it across all plugins. I started adding a lot of the features such as library integration, STRM creation, etc into the firedrive plugin, which I was going to "complete" and then push across the other plugins. But firedrive vanished midway, so I had to start moving all the changes to something more standard such as ownCloud.

I'm also pushing out more changes to create a standard location to receive the plugins (similar to the repository that I have setup). I have a few hosted domains that I'm consolidating for this purpose. I'm planning on creating multiple repositories based on whether the user wants to use the latest test version of a plugin or a stable plugin version. I'm finding a lot of users are facing issues installing direct from github. When the site is up, I'll add a donation button. I'm also trying to think of ways to reward donators.

I always accept requests for features or new plugins. Most of my work is driven by user requests (at least 90% of it).
