Support for cloud services (Dropbox/Nextcloud) - Page 2

Will there be an update? I would appreciate support of Google Drive. Dropbox does not work; at least not for me.

How do you disable it?

Dirk-71 · 12-14-2018, 06:15 PM

It's working now.

I was using this: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...35&postcount=2

I am not sure but maybe this was the reason the sync did not work!?

I have tried on my aura one

and find that the patch “Block WiFi firmware upgrade” in kobopatch will block the cloudsync

after removed it， dropbox goes well for me

m-p{3} · 12-19-2018, 05:22 PM

Does it require a specific firmware version, and is there an uninstaller in case something goes wrong?

And I would also appreciate Google Drive support

I cannot see downloaded files in library. they are downloaded and i see tem after connecting to pc.
when unmounted from pc - they finally appear in library.
Anyone have idea what causes the problem?

i've set up a shared google drive folder for my epubs.
I've got the KoboCloud programme set up as per instructions. However it doesnt see mto fetch anything.
The log says:

2020-07-03_22:22:45 waiting for internet connection
2020-07-03_22:22:48 done

(I removed any # comments to see if anything changed and it did...no more Comment found messages, lol)

Did you look at the previous few posts?
If that didn't help, can I see a copy of kobocloudrc?

Hello.
Is there a way for using Dropbox on my Nia (4.23.15548) and Aura (4.23.15548)?
I've tried sharing a dropbox folder via link, then opening that link in kobo browser (beta features) but I don't see the files I've there...
Thanks

Try PMing me your kobocloudrc file. I can give it a look.

I had some difficulty with this and I’m hoping someone can guide me the right way.

On macOS 10.14, I modified the kobocloudrc.tmpl file to include a Dropbox folder link

I plugged in Kobo, pressed connect on Kobo, and opened terminal on macOS. Dragged the makeKoboRoot.sh file into terminal (which pastes in the filepath for that file) and pressed enter. I got an error “tar: could not chdir to directory ‘src’”

The directory src does exist. I just downloaded the zip from GitHub as is and only modified the tmpl file as directed. makeKoboRoot.sh file and src folder are both in the KoboCloud-master directory

Could anyone please tell me what I’m doing wrong here? Thanks. I don’t have much experience with scripts and terminal but I can generally follow directions ok

Never mind, got it. First I had to type

Code:

cd /Users/MYUSERNAME/Downloads/KoboCloud-0.5

and press enter, then I could type

Code:

sh ./makeKoboRoot.sh

and it worked

I opened an issue on Git, but it seems like pretty deserted out there, so I hope someone could help me out here...

I added the link of my Google Drive to the config file. The log files show that it finds the link and downloads my files. But when I browse to the .add/kobocloud/library folder, I only see my cbz files of 3kb instead of 150MB

When I add a simple PDF to the Google Drive, it does show up. I added the same cbz files directly on the mounted drive when plugging in my Clara and it DOES show up that file. So it’s not a corrupted or unreadable file for my Kobo...

I also tried a cbz file of 20MB and it did show up... Is there a file size limitation present in the script?
