Bug Description

The new Google Drive REST API seems to support document thumbnails:

https://developers.google.com/drive/v2/reference/files#resource

It would be nice if the Google Drive scope could use these for results and previews.

From what I can tell, the scope is currently using an older GData XML API, so it may need to be updated before we can take advantage.

Looking at the returned XML, we can do this with the existing GData backend:

 1. look up a link on the entry with rel=thumbnail
 2. append "&access_token=$OAUTH_TOKEN" to the URL so the Unity shell can load the image.

(2) would probably be needed for the new JSON API too.
