Answer 1

You will need to contact Google for information on Google drive. I suspect they provide a REST API you can connect to.

You can find the Google Drive docs at https://developers.google.com/drive/ .

If Google is using OAuth then you should be able to connect with a Web Authentication Broker. See Quickstart: Connecting to an online identity provider .

Otherwise you can use HttpClient to talk to their service (a sample is linked from that documentation), but again you'll have to talk to Google for details about what exactly they expect.

Answer 5

This is one of the situations that the Filter pipeline is designed to handle!  You'll want to make a fairly small filter, quite possibly based on the auth filters we've already created for you in the Web Authentication Broker sample.  That filter will, when it sees an outgoing request, will call into the web auth broker, get the right access token, and apply it to outgoing requests. 

Best of all, your app logic can then focus on actually controlling the web service instead of fiddling with the details of OAuth or OAuth2.

The //build/ presentation talked about the overall filter architecture: //Build 2013 4-092

And, to see our overall HttpClient architecture, we have a nifty poster for download.
