Google Picker API: Use of setAppId

Google picker api examples has an file-open example which doesn't set the app id (setAppId) and an upload example which does it.

I would like to get clarifications:

  • when do you need to set the api id?
  • Can I have a web application downloading a file from Google drive using the file picker without an app id?
Solution

  • For the Google Drive SDK, always set the App ID.
