When I was looking at Google Drive API some time ago, it didn't—unlike the Dropbox API—support byte serving (partial requests). That is needed for efficient indexing of MP3 files without having to download them first. It may have since changed though. Otherwise I think it would be pretty much analogous to the Dropbox integration.

That is a needed piece, then you can play as it downloads instead of having to preload the entire file. Cool!
