Kindle Cloud Sync

No such tool, already packaged for the Kindle, has been posted that I can recall.

BUT
It may be possible because:
  • Kindles run Linux
  • Linux has the davfs2 file system driver that supports WebDav
  • Most "Cloud" services also support WebDav access


Here is how to setup and mount a WebDav "Cloud" into your file system tree on a Linux desktop:

Twobob and I have several private "Clouds" that we mount into our development machines.
I.E: A shared directory, even though we are 6 time zones apart.

We also **started** (but never finished) looking at porting the davfs2 file system to the very constrained memory resources of the Kindle (davfs2, as shipped, is a real memory hog).

That is one of our unfinished projects, way, way, way, way down on our to-do list (like in, maybe never).
So if someone else wants to take up the challenge . . . .
