title: Google Drive Android API in Google Play Services 4.1
body: <p>I read <a href="http://googledevelopers.blogspot.cz/2014/01/introducing-google-drive-android-api.html" rel="nofollow">article</a> about new Google Drive Android API in Google Play Services 4.1. This is already available for download in SDK. But only problem is API description. I found only "old" API <a href="https://developers.google.com/drive/android/get-started" rel="nofollow">description</a>. </p>
  
  <p>I am looking for any information how to implement new "Transparent use and syncing of local storage". </p>
  
  <p><em><strong>Transparent use and syncing of local storage</em></strong></p>
  
  <p><em>The Google Drive Android API temporarily uses a local data store in case the device is not connected to a network. So, no need to worry about failed API calls in your app because the user is offline or experiencing a network connectivity problem. Data stored locally in this fashion will automatically and transparently be stored in the Google Drive cloud by Android’s sync scheduler when connectivity is available to minimize impact on battery life, bandwidth, and other resources.</em></p>
