Do you realize Google Drive support is already there? BitBucket (isn't
that just hg/git hosting?) and/or DropBox may make sense via libcmis,
provided you find someone to mentor the project.

The best you can do to prove that is to contribute small patches, see
<https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development> for details.

Having one or two non-trivial easy hacks solved is a requirement for applying
as a student. See instructions from last year at
<https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/GSoC/2016#How_to_apply>.

I would say first focus on completing some easy hacks, then you go start
writing your application.
