That's what this tool is trying to do. Give you a series of links into your
accounts so allow you to open files directly from your system to your drive
document or file. Gnome has this implementation set up by default, you just
add your google account and it starts to work.

A mouse trap, placed on top of your alarm clock, will prevent you from
rolling over and going back to sleep after you hit the snooze button.
