Select cloud storage as directory

Open qol3m opened this issue 3 years ago • 1 comments

It appears that many/most/all cloud storage solutions are embedded into the file browser in Android. (?) (for example pcloud) This allows you to browse and use the cloud storage like a regular folder on your device.

It would be great if I could set my cloud storage as DecSync directory. This would eliminate the need for a separate sync app for many users, as most cloud storage apps don't allow for mobile sync and in many cases not even backup besides photos and videos.

The password manager Keepass2Android supports this for its password database, if you need a code example https://github.com/PhilippC/keepass2android . I don't know anything about Android development, but it appears one only has to adjust the folder picker code?

Thanks for this app. It's much better than running a separate CardDAV/CalDAV server just to sync a few bits of text.

Thanks for the suggestion! Being able to directly select a cloud storage would make it easier for users to select the directory, but it requires some work. You don't only have to adjust the picker, but also how the files are handled. But I haven't done any research on how much extra work that is. It is a good feature, but I probably won't implement it soon.
