Trash, Delete in new Google Drive Android API?

by

If you want to have a full control over synchronization, do not use Google Drive Android NEW API (at least for now). It is not good enough yet (October 2014) or respectively it works in different way than “real time” OLD API. Main problems are, that you can’t delete file, changes are not real-time, metadata are often cached a lot (when I make a search query, in results I can see deleted files even after many hours!). Probably due to some optimizations drive services runs when they want and how they want, so almost nothing is under your control – you never know how drive service uses cache, and you can’t force drive service to “do the job right now because I need it”.

Oh, and another disadvantage is, that code is much more complicated that same logic created in OLD API 🙂
