NOTE: this is alpha software and is rapidly changing. Files stored on Google Drive using this plugin should still be backed-up elsewhere.
This extension adds a Google Drive filebrowser to the left sidepanel of JupyterLab. When you are logged into your Google account, you will have the files stored in it available to JupyterLab. Notebooks and text files may be shared and edited with collaborators in real-time, and all users will see the same changes.
To see the extension in action, click on our live demo from PyData Seattle:
For the time-being, all users running a notebook have independent kernels for code execution, and the outputs from running cells will reflect that.
Google's servers expect traffic from computers using http://localhost on ports8888 through 8899,
and other origins will be rejected, so drive integration will not work.
See advanced.md for instructions on how to set up your own credentials with Google's servers.
