At Google IO 2012, Google announced the upcoming release of two new Google Drive APIs:

• Google Drive Realtime API – Allows realtime collaboration features of Google products to be used in applications.
• Google Drive API Push Notifications – Generates near-instant notifications when files are modified in Google Drive.

These upcoming new APIs, along with other upcoming Google Drive API features, will be tested and then integrated into applications by developers participating in the Google Drive SDK early access program. Google encourages all types of application developers to apply for the program and those selected will also have the opportunity to influence the development of the Google Drive SDK.
