Will never work like that except for very small trees. You have to rethink your entire algorithm for a cloud app (you have written it like a desktop app where you own the machine) since it will timeout easily. You need to mirror the tree beforehand (taskqueues and datastore) not just to avoid timeouts but also to avoid drive rate limits, and keep it in sync somehow (register for push etc). Not easy at all. Ive done a drive tree viewer before.
