Adding Google Drive support to Android project

I want to include Google Drive support in my application, using Android Studio 3.0.1

I have the following entries in my app' build.gradle file:

dependencies {
    compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:+'
    compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-drive:11.6.0'

When I try to do a Gradle build I get the following error:

enter image description here

When clicking on "Install Repository and sync project" I then get the following error:

Is the syntax of my dependencies section wrong?

Google shows use of the implementation directive instead of compile but doesn't work for me either.

I've tried changing the play-services-drive line to this:

compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-drive:+'

but then I get a load of resource errors that I've never seen before. This project built and ran before I started trying to add the Google imports below:

Did follow step 4?

If you receive an error, check that your top-level build.gradle contains a reference to the google() repo or to maven { url "https://maven.google.com" }.

You would put this in your top-level build.gradle file like so:

buildscript {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
        maven {
            url "https://maven.google.com"
        }
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.0.0'

        // NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
        // in the individual module build.gradle files
    }
}

allprojects {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
        maven {
            url "https://maven.google.com"
        }
    }
}

Google's Play Services are often horribly documented. You should consult their demo project as a better reference as to how to use the APIs (that's where the sample code is from). Hope that helps!
