there is an effort led by John Chilton for Galaxy to be one of the Google's partners for the Goole Summer Of Code. Some of the proposals, including the Google Drive intergation are summarized on our wiki: https://wiki.galaxyproject.org/Develop/GSOC/2015Ideas#Linking_Galaxy_with_Google_Drive

Hello and Happy New Year,

Back in September 2014, Google announced unlimited storage for users
of Google Drive for Education:

"Unlimited storage: No more worrying about how much space you have
left or about which user needs more gigabytes. Drive for Education
supports individual files up to 5TB in size and will be available in
coming weeks."

Pardon me if I missed a discussion about this, but I was wondering if
there are any plans to include a feature in Galaxy that would allow it
to use Google Drive for storage instead of the local disk?

Thanks :)
