Simply use Drive like local file storage and the API will handle the
syncing for you.

<p>
Explore the <a href=
"{@docRoot}reference/com/google/android/gms/drive/package-summary.html">Google

Key Developer Features
</h3>
<h4>
Automatic syncing
</h4>
<p>
The Google Drive Android API uses the local device storage to create,
edit, and open files, then syncs them automatically when the device
is connected to the Internet. If a user requests a file that isn’t
already cached on the device, the Drive service downloads the file
the next time the device connects.<br>
<a href="http://developers.google.com/drive/android/files" class=
"external-link">Open a file</a>
</p>
<h4>
User interface components
</h4>
<p>
Building your own user interface for selecting or creating files is a
thing of the past. The Drive API includes activity builders for two
of the most common user activities: opening files and creating
files.<br>
<a href="http://developers.google.com/drive/android/create-file"
class="external-link">Create a file</a>
</p>
<h4>
Easily search for files
</h4>
<p>
The query builder allows you to easily construct a query by joining
together multiple parameters and filtering based on metadata. This
allows you to easily display only relevant files, such as files
shared with the user or files with a specific MIME type.<br>

Getting Started
</h3>
<h4>
1. Get the Google Play services SDK
</h4>
<p>
The Google Drive Android API is part of the Google Play services
platform.
</p>
<p>
To get started, <a href=
"{@docRoot}google/play-services/setup.html">set up the Google Play
services SDK</a>.
</p>
<h4>
2. Run the sample
</h4>
<p>
Once you’ve set up the Google Play services SDK, you can run the
Google Drive sample located in

However, before you can run the sample, you need to register your app
in the Google Developers Console.
</p>
<p>
