As is probably obvious, Cyberduck already supports Google Drive - it had/has support for Google Docs built-in, and this service is now called Google Drive. (The change in name was accompanied by a desktop client and an increase in space, but no change in the API).

Whoever mans the Twitter account appears not to think Cyberduck supports Google Drive, which is a shame. It does - flawlessly. Benefits for using Cyberduck are that you can upload to multiple Google accounts, which the official desktop client doesn't support.

The website would appear to require updating to mention Google Drive; and the default icon for the Google Docs preset is probably worthwhile changing to the yellow Google Drive logo.

Given the amount of promotion that Google Drive has had, I'd guess you'd have a ton of additional users if you promoted the already-existing compatibility with Google Drive that Cyberduck has.

James,

Thanks for the notice. We have not updated our website to reflect the name change. We will further work on improved integration using OAuth authentication mechanism in a upcoming version of Cyberduck.

How do you connect cyberduck to google drive? My company blocks sites hosted at .ch, so I can't access help files.
