Explore supporting the Google Picker API

[jrgriffiniii]

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/
