Alfresco and google drive like authorization

I would like to authorize certain web-apps (In my case: diagram.ly) to access my Alfresco repository like google drive for creating and modifying files. Is there some Alfresco extension out there that already does that? How difficult would it be to write such a "Do you allow XY to access your files" dialog for Alfresco?

The on-premise version of Alfresco generally requires you to authenticate using a username and password, although it is possible as a developer to plug in other authentication mechanisms if you know what you're doing.

If you're after more of an OAuth-type solution that avoids the need to authenticate directly, you could register for an Alfresco Cloud account. The public API for that service, featuring OAuth2-based authorization, was launched this week.

See https://developer.alfresco.com/cloud for more details.
