I have a HTML5 web app that saves user configuration in a JSON format. At the moment the Data is saved in LocalStorage.

I've seen other apps backup files to google drive (such as draw.io).

enter image description here

I want to save the users config file in their google drive and be able to retrieve it again.

Can this be done in the frontend utilising JavaScript and how?

You can use the create and get methods of the Google Drive API. The examples on those pages have Javascript tabs which you may be able to use as a starting point.

  • Do you have any examples using the `v3` version? Because the v3 doesn't have. This looks like a simple thing, yet it's very complicated to set up because of the lack in the documentation. – RogerHN Dec 17 '19 at 16:13
