Patch 4.38.23171

I find in one Russian forum Patch 4.38.23171
Use it in your own risk.

There was one interesting explanation - I translate with DeepL.

Good afternoon, everyone. Who is interested - patches

Attached file koboratsh_4.38.23171.zip ( 7.31 MB )

I ran the first one on the Kobo GLO HD and the second one on the Kobo Libra2. All the patches I used worked.
In both patches, the first patch added “Unlock Dropbox and Google Drive support” to the libnickel.so.1.0.0.0.yaml file.
After applying the patch, “My Dropbox” and “My Google Drive” appeared in the “More” menu (or “More” with the Russifier installed) on both devices.

Note the need to edit the “.kobo/Kobo/Kobo/Kobo eReader.conf” file:
in the [FeatureSettings] section add
GoogleDrive=1
Dropbox=1
if you don't need any of them, put 0 (zero).

in the [OneStoreServices] section change the values of the parameters
kobo_googledrive_link_account_enabled=True
googledrive_link_account_start=https://authorize.kobo.com/{region}/{language}/linkcloudstorage/provider/google_drive
kobo_dropbox_link_account_enabled=True
dropbox_link_account_poll=https://authorize.kobo.com/{region}/{language}/LinkDropbox
!!! IMPORTANT !!! Due to sanctions KOBO removed pages with support for Russia (writes 404, page not found),
so in these parameters instead of “{region}” and “{language}” we write adequate region and language of some country not under sanctions.
like “GB” and “en” --- dropbox_link_account_poll=https://authorize.kobo.com/GB/en/LinkDropbox.

It worked for me. The first time you click on these menus the device is bound to Dropbox and Google accounts, you need to follow the instructions on the screen of the reader.
The next opens the disk storage on the reader.
Naturally, before binding the book to the storages you need to have valid Kobo, Dropbox and (or) Google accounts

P.S. And yes, there is nothing better than a native reader with a Russifier and patches, especially now that I have attached Dropbox and Google storages to my 10-year-old Kobo GLO HD with a dead connector, I will use Korider only when they are completely blocked by sanctions, and then only to download books from Yandex-disk and --- back to the native reader again.
