Description
Most of us university folks have essentially unlimited free storage in google drive. It would be great to be able to work with this storage space in a cloud-native way.
The google drive SDK includes a python API: https://developers.google.com/drive/api/v3/about-sdk
In principle, it should be straightforward to create a google-drive implementation for fsspec.
I believe this would open up a whole world of cool possibilities. In particular, it would lower the bar for putting data on the "cloud." More people are comfortable with google drive than they are with S3 or GCS.
