Question

_{Sunday, October 30, 2016 9:54 PM}

Hi there,

I am a self thought programmer for the past few years using unity and I have started branching into software development with c# and c++.

Is it possible to get data from a text file from my google drive and display it in a text box inside of a c# Windows Form Application?

If someone has any information or can help me please do :)

Thank you so much in advance!

I would think that all you have to do is set up the Windows O/S to map a drive letter to the skydive via UNC possibly through File Explorer to the location where the file is located.

The you can write a program to open any file accessible via the drive letter.

From above message, your case more related to Google drive. As far as I know, you can achieve it using google drive API, for more details, please refer to the following links.

I believe you need the Google Drive API for this.

As other said, it is done with REST APIs (C# sample)

All Clouds work with REST Apis.

I tested them in C/C++ by sending requests with WinHttp APIs;

the simplest one is pCloud, because automatic Authentication (Authentication Token) is easier than with One Drive or Google Drive.
