Support for more cloud services: Google Drive, Dropbox, etc.

fsantini · 04-24-2019, 01:36 PM

Dear all,

First of all, apologies for not being present on the forum. I'm sorry that I'm not an active user.

This being said, I would like to tell you that you have been heard

I'm posting an update to this older thread: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=311977

I've worked a bit on my cloud service support scripts, and I'm happy to report that you can now synchronize your Kobo with:

* Google Drive
* pCloud
* Dropbox
* NextCloud

Check out the github page for more information: https://github.com/fsantini/KoboCloud

and get the latest release here: https://github.com/fsantini/KoboCloud/releases

Finally, I'm sorry that the scripts are not working in some cases. It seems that there are some random problems that I can't reproduce, they work on all the devices I could test them on.

Take care,

Francesco

Hi! This seems to work with epub files, but I couldn't manage to sync kepubs. Is this a known issue?

Gibbo · 10-07-2019, 01:00 PM

Nope not working for me.

Gibbo · 10-08-2019, 07:48 AM

It's working now

but only with .epub and .kepub.epub

Do you mind sharing how you edited the kobocloudrc file? Basically, here is how mine looks like right now and it does not work on my Libra (I have only epubs in my dropbox folder):

Quote:

# Add your URLs to this file
# Remove the # from the following line to uninstall KoboCloud
#UNINSTALL
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/XX

I replaced here the real rest of the link with XX for obvious reasons, but on my libra the link is the correct one.

What am I doing wrong? (bare with me, I am badly jetlagged and have been so for over a week now

)

Gibbo · 10-08-2019, 10:59 AM

This is how I did it.

# Add your URLs to this file
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/XX
# Remove the # from the following line to uninstall KoboCloud
#UNINSTALL

hmm... okay, seems I did the same, just the line order.. I'll try it again. Many thanks, Karma to you

I added a Gdrive link as well and it works but it's a bit temperamental it won't connect all the time.

It works perfectly on my glo hd with google drive. It syncs books between the reader and a folder named /books in google drive. thank you.

lk82 · 10-15-2019, 06:00 AM

I cannot see downloaded files in reader's library.
they are downloaded and i see them in kobocloud Library subfolder, after connecting to pc.
When unmounted from pc - they finally appear in library.
Anyone have idea what causes the problem?

I haven't tried this yet, but I'm guessing that that's the only way to manually trigger library updates. Downloading books directly from Kobo probably has some internal refresh mechanic that makes updating seamless, but I don't think these scripts are able to tap into that.

lk82 · 10-15-2019, 09:45 AM

Do you see them in library after sync is complete? i have to connect to pc to refresh the lubrary - on Aura H20.

I tried it today with my Kobo Glo HD and Google Drive and it worked.
I just clicked on the sync button and when the download were finished the library updated itself without having to do anything (just like when you disconnect from the PC). The books are in the library.
As stated by someone above, sometimes it doesn't work on the first try.

Thank you very much Francesco
