Feature request for syncing across devices

galaxyhub · 01-24-2022, 02:54 AM

Please can we have an option to use Dropbox, Google drive, Onedrive as the service for syncing. Am getting free storage from them and it might be more reliable (sometimes not syncing) and a bit quicker than the free server.

It seems a bit unlikely that reliability or speed are particularly bad on Azure? Not that I'm Azure's biggest fan or anything.

I don't think something like syncing progress on Dropbox is likely on the short term, but maybe if you manage to pique @hius07's curiosity or something.

Getting about 5 to 7 seconds currently in KO reader and under 1 second on Moonreader using Dropbox.

Are you comparing like for like? That sounds like you're comparing an Android device already connected to the network against an ereader that's taking 5-7 seconds to connect to wifi.

hmmm - you are correct, thanks. Maybe a petition to Onyx for some snapdragon 8 gen 1 processors in the epd's would be in order.
