CakePHP Component for using Google Drive API

This was developed for a university library webapp which needed to publish lots of PDF content (like, >30gb) and had no server space to upload so much data!

So, as it had three main careers and Google Drive free acount storage limit is 15gb, three Google Accounts were created, one for each career's library.

Using this component, each file "metadata" was stored in the database, holding the Google Drive file ID and folder ID, and the files were uploaded to GDrive.

I developed this more than 2 years ago and I don't think it'd be useful for anyone. Anyway I'd like to keep it and share it 'cause it's fun to see how one evolves as professional.

Caution: Look at the code with one eye! ;)
