The google drive viewer looks ok, but it lacks some features that we might be interested in adding. Is there a way to write our own file manager for google drive – using the web browser and /or android, etc as a client?

    You could re-write a file viewer using the Document list API but you will loose some features such as:

    • Google.com cookie based auth: You would have to implement an OAuth 2 flow + cookies
    • User-installed Drive Application: Users can install Drive Apps and can open files using these apps directly from Drive. It won’t be possible for your app to know what Drive Apps the user has installed and which file types they are allowed to open.
