Google Drive question

[mcvpjd3]

Just a quick question that popped into my head. I haven't looked into this and not even planning to use it, but just curious about it.

Can winbatch be used to update a document in Google drive? (for example put data into a Google sheet)?

Thanks

Google provides C# code (see below) to access the drive. Doubt this can be converted to WB, and it would take more of a C# expert to determine if the WB CLR could work with it

Google provides a dotNet API for Google Sheet, as well. Since I have never used it nor spent much time even looking it, I can't say how much of it could be used with WinBatch CLR hosting.  Guess would be that it would work as long as you don't do anything that requires delegates for event handling.
