I guess that ideally we would have some Julian API to deal with google drive (and other such popular solutions) and once that API is solid DataDeps could use _that_ to provide the same functionality it has for other repos. The API R has for google drive is lacking (e.g. we can’t even download a folder). So I’m not sure you want to build and rely on that. But I guess it’s better than nothing at all.
