As second file system provider Google Drive has been added to VFSLib.
Developers need a Google Drive account and their application setup on the Google website. Once an
application token has been generated (you must allow your application to access your Google Drive
files first) then the VFSLib Google Drive provider can be configured with a few steps.
Like the Dropbox provider also the Google Drive provider supports all standard VFS operation
as there are creating files and folders, renaming, deleting, downloading, uploading etc.
Remember that versioning is not supported by the original Commons VFS and so VFSLib doesn't.

The release of the first official VFSLib for Dropbox (Dropbox Edition, aka DBE) is now likely
to be published in the next few weeks. This initial version comes with a VFS provider implementing
the functionality to access the Dropbox network file system.
Developers need a Dropbox account and their application setup on the Dropbox website. Once an
application token has been generated (you must allow your application to access your Dropbox
files first) then the VFSLib Dropbox provider can be configured with a few steps.
The first available VFSLib edition will be the Dropbox Edition (DBE), additional VFS providers
e.g. to access Amazon S3 will be released in Q4/2013. Finally an Enterprise Edition will be
published which contains all available VFSLib providers for an attractive price.
