I'd like my app to be notified whenever files are added, deleted or modified on my Google Drive directory (or subdirectory). Does Google Drive support webhooks o similar mechanisms for 3rd party integration? I couldn't find anything like that in the API docs.
Thanks in advance.

We now support push notifications for early access program members. One of our recent blog posts announces this.
Google Drive API Push Notifications We also told developers about an upcoming Push Notifications system at Google IO 2012. Push Notifications will allow you to get near-instant notifications when files are modified in Google Drive.
