can we use google drive functionality in asp.net website? - asp.net

I want to use google drive functionality in my website, like user can view, download and upload their google drive content after providing login credentials using my website.
Is this functionality possible? Feel free to correct me if i'm wrong.

You can embed google drive functionality in your website. For that google provides google drive api. For CMS like Joomla can be used for embedding it into your webpage. Here is one link which lists the steps for plugging in the Google drive api into your webpage:

Thanks

Using Google Drive SDK for .NET, file-explorer could be developed which can connect Google Drive for saving and retrieving changes. Read start-up guide here and try hands-on DrEdit Web Application example which clearly demonstrates how to implement the same.

Rendering Google Drive video files on my website using Google API key

I am managing a Wordpress website that uses the Ultimate Video Player plugin in order to render video files that are stored in my Google Drive account.
Plugin details: https://www.webdesign-flash.ro/p/uvp/
In order to render the Google Drive video files, this plugin needs the video file sources to be created using the following format:
https://www.googleapis.com/drive/v3/files/[file_id]?alt=media&key=[api_key]&v=[.mp4/.mp3/etc]
Therefore I have created a Google API key that I’m using to build my video source links.
So here are my questions:
Are there any limitations as to how many times a video can be visualised on my website (how many hits it gets) using the GoogleAPI key created?
Is there a download quota that can be exceeded by rendering these video files on my website as described above?
Thank you very much for your assistance.

Tracking mobile web app with Google Analytics using the website script

I have built a web app (read: a website within a naitive app container) for iOS and Android. I started by adding the website script provided by Google to my app, figuring it would work since it's basically a website hosted within a container. The issue? Well, it doesn't work.
When I access the app from my phone, all I get within the Analytics GUI is that there is a user at page / nothing else despite how many pages I go to. I get the same result if I just browse to the website on my phone. However, if I go to the website on my computer, the script seems to pick up everything perfectly. I can see all pages I've visited and when, for example.
So I guess I have two questions:
Why doesn't the script work as expected through the app on my phone, but perfectly when accessing the webiste on my computer from a technical point of view? Does Google perform some sort of blocking regarding the request headers?
Is there any way to get the website script to work within an app or do I have to use Firebase for long-term and sustainable tracking?
Have in italics since the feeling I get when reading here is that the Google Analytics Services SDK for Android and iOS will probably be phased out sooner or later. According to this post the GA SDK is already deprecated. So using that doesn't really feel like an alternative.
Also, I am not interested in comments like "Why don't you use this analytics tool instead", or, "What's your problem with Firebase? Just use it".
There are two types of Google Analytics accounts. Web accounts and mobile accounts. Web accounts run off of pageview hits. Mobile accounts run off screenview hits. If you insert a screenview into a web account the only thing you will see is page / because its sending the in correct hit type.
The SDK is used for tracking mobile applications so it inserts screen views. You cant use the same Google analytics account for tracking with it your going to need a mobile Google analytics account if you want to use the SDK. You wont of course be able to analyse between the web and mobile accounts.
Cant help with firebase sorry.

Google Docs with asp.net

I need to edit word documents/spreedsheets like it happens in Google docs . Can i integrate Google docs into my asp.net application ?
Is it possible for me to save this edited document on to my server instead of saving it at the google account ?
Thanks,
Francis
Can i integrate Google docs into my asp.net application ?
Google provide API documentation

Yes, see get
instead of saving it at the google account ?
You can't let people use the Google Docs WYSIWYG editors and save to your system directly. They'd have to save to their Google account and then you could download the file.

Google analytics with a Chrome Web store packaged app

I have a couple of small packaged apps on the Chrome Web Store (that's packaged, not hosted, so I'm not hosting anything myself). I was wondering whether I can still use Google Analytics, and how to test whether it's working before publishing the app.
I'm guessing the answer might be no, because their FAQ just says this:
"Can I use Google Analytics?
Yes. Hosted apps use Google Analytics just like any other website does. For help on using analytics in packaged apps (and extensions), see this tutorial."
Anyone know if there's a way around this?
Resolution
Followed the advice from the answer, but with a couple of small differences. First, I did not modify in any way the code that I copied from GA. Second, I pasted my GA ID in the app publishing form in my developer dashboard (go to developer dashboard, click edit for the app in question, then find the GA field).
I hope this might help: http://code.google.com/chrome/extensions/tut_analytics.html
I recently submitted an app and found that there is a text field for adding your Google Analytics code.

search my site with the help of google in asp.net

i want to search my site with the help of google. search result will show in my page and no google related icon will show as if user will feel the search functionality is internal. how could i implement in asp.net. thanks
Ah, you are looking for Google Site Search.
It provides custom branded, in-page results.
Google's free, slightly striped down version is pretty good too: Google Custom Search
You could use the Google Search API to accomplish that. Here are some examples, how you could do it:
