Any Plans for Box.net Support

[taguntumi]

Hi

Just discovered Marvin, a great piece of software. I see you have support for Dropbox but are there any plans to support Box.net in the same way?

Reason for asking is through there giveaways I have significantly more storage there and thus that it where I keep my eBooks.

Thanks

Please note you can load books into Marvin directly from your Box app on your iDevice. There is no pressing necessity for direct integration of Box within Marvin. I use SugarSync for my e-books, and I load them into Marvin from the SugarSync app (the "Open in..." button) -- not missing SugarSync directly in Marvin at all.

@taguntumi - I know that eventually want to do it. So far, i had a look at the APIs for Google Drive and Skydrive to get a feeling for how complex the task will be.

In the meantime as Faterson suggests, you can use the native app to "Open in..." the book. In the short term I'll be focusing on higher priority features such as better (and more complete sync), textures, vertical scrolling, side-loading fonts and a couple of ToC-related bugs that are becoming annoying.

Thanks both. Will give that a try. Could I load from Box and sync via Dropbox?

Thanks Ian

Yes, simply enable Dropbox sync in the settings of Marvin. To load a book from Box, simply open the Box app on your phone, navigate to your book and click on it, then from the pop up menu select to open in Marvin.

Yes, there is no relation between syncing and storing in Marvin.

You can store books wherever you want, and load books into Marvin from wherever you want.

You can currently only sync via Dropbox (perhaps iCloud will be added as an alternative syncing option later on, see here).

Ok. Get it. I was thinking storage and syncing were linked.

Thanks for your help.
