Google Cloud service isn't supported currently IMO. Only Amazon Whisper Sync is currently supported and you must activate it through the Android Tab of the Global Game Settings.

Hmmm. There's a checkbox on the Social tab of the Android/Fire tab in GGS that says "Enable Google Cloud Saving".
So is it possible or no?
If I don't check the box, I get this exception in the log: "Must include Drive.SCOPE_APPFOLDER to use snapshots!"
If I do check the box, I get this exception in the log: "cloudSynchronise called when not logged in to appropriate service" and "cloud_string_save() called when not logged in to appropriate service"
So I think we can surmise the checkbox is controlling the manifest entry.
I have the Drive API, Google+ API enabled on the Google API manager site for this app ID.
I am signed in for Google Play Services and my achievements and leaderboards all work.

What am I missing here to get cloud saving to work? Anyone have words of wisdom on this?
How do I log in?
Am I missing something in the manifest? Seems like I need this in my manifest but I'm not sure how to add it:
<meta-data android:name="com.google.android.apps.drive.APP_ID" android:value="id=@string/gp_app_id" />​
Right now I see this in there, but I think this is wrong as appstate is gone now:
<meta-data android:name="com.google.android.gms.appstate.APP_ID" android:value="@string/gp_app_id" />​
Something in my code?
