Just in case anyone is interested....some ages ago (back in the KDE4 time) I 
wrote a KIO Slave for Google Drive [0]. It never got released, but it somewhat 
worked as I recall. 

I don't have much time to work on it anymore - right now it needs porting to 
KF5 (not much work), maybe some minor adjustment to changes in LibKGAPI (which 
implements the GDrive API) and the final push to make sure everything works.

If anyone's interested in helping with this, I can arrange this project to be 
moved to regular repositories, have reviewboard set up etc. and maybe we can 
get this released eventually. I agree that it would be really nice to have 
this in KDE (not just Dolphin), unfortunately I just lack the time to do it :(

Cheers,
Dan
