Description Luke 2014-10-03 23:11:31 UTC 
Currently there is a lengthy list of steps that need to be followed to enable Google Drive access. Most of this steps consist of drop downs that contain only one setting that works for Google Drive or pressing refresh buttons. 

I propose that when the user changes "server type" to "Google Drive", this will trigger LO 
1) Fill in binding URL to https://www.googleapis.com/drive/v2 (already done)
2) Refresh 
3) Set Repository to "Google Drive"
4) Set the path to / (is this a good idea?)


The list of steps can be found here:

I think that once Google Drive is set, the username and password dialog should automatically open up.
Comment 2 Luke 2014-10-04 02:29:27 UTC 
So after this UI improvement, the steps would be

a) User clicks on "server" button
b) Type -> CMIS
c) Server -> Google Drive
<here the new logic kicks in, filling everything in>
d) OK
<here the authentication dialog pops up with username copied from login>
