ESP8266 Community Forum

Although there are so many cloud IoT platforms (ThingSpeak, thinger.io, TESPA.io, Xively, … ) available in the market, each offering APIs and tools to allow the Arduino and ESP8266 users to directly upload their sensor readings online for real-time visualization and global access, Google Drive is still many people's favorite choice for posting sensor data online as it is more approachable. Here is a comprehensive tutorial that describes a method of connecting the ESP8266 device directly to a Google sheet for storing the sensor data without using any third party service, like pushingbox that most Arduino users use as a bridge for fulfilling Google’s http requirements and handling the URL redirection. This tutorial explains how you can make the task much simpler by using a recently published HTTPSRedirect Arduino library written by Sujay Phadke. It allows the ESP8266 to self-handle the redirect and https GET requests and access the Google sheets for data logging.

Thanks for the mention. V2 of the library is up and please use only that for future projects. please report any bugs using github issues.
