  First-party Google API client libraries usable with the Google Drive API v3.
  Google ships a single generated client library per language that covers all
  Google APIs (Drive is a service within it); the language-specific Drive
  service package is noted where Google publishes a per-API artifact (Java, Ruby,
  .NET, Go). Each registry existence was confirmed by HTTP probe at fetch time.
