Sync script

Zekathon · 12-25-2016, 10:16 AM

hello, I have searched the internet a bit and stumbled upon a script, which syncs files from a shared folder in gdrive to the ereader. The script seems to be outdated, but given the fact that it is still possible to share links and download files from a cloud (i tried OneDrive and it worked mostly well even with PDF files) it should be possible to use it. My knowledge of code is too low to modify it myself, so i hope someone will be interested in this and try to repair it, as the idea of not having to connect the ereader practically at all seems interesting to me.

What the script seems to do:

scan shared folder for subfolders and files
download files present in the gdrive shared folder
(optional) delete files in the ereader, which are no longer in the shared folder

here is the link to its Github and here is a blog, where i first found it

You might be interested in this new function in KOReader. It looks to be merged into next build.

Luck;

Oh, I have overlooked this announcement and i am vary glad to see it

although i hoped more for the OneDrive then DBox, as it is integrated into Windows, this is still great news... and according to the info and the OneDrive's open API, it is just a matter of time to see OneDrive in the list too

thank you for the good news,
Zek
