Good for you with your 'phone, but of no use for this thread:(
You are missing the point. Its good for me because I use a phone. But the point I'm making and which you are missing is that there is an underlying protocol for accessing google drive which is quite independent of my Samsung phone. It works for Apple phone, Sony phones, Microsoft phones. Its not tied to Android. The protocol is published, unlike various ones from Microsoft! As John points out you can use your browser! You can also access Drive via FTP (File Transfer Protocol) SFTP (SSH Secure File Transfer) WebDAV(Web-based Distributed Authoring and Versioning) Windows Azure Rackspace Cloud Files That means you can make use of Linux tools such as cURL and Wget as well! It occurs to me that it won't be difficult to use the Perl CPAN WebDAV module and a wrapper, written perhaps in Perl/Tk if you are GUI-obsessed. It further strikes me that this is one of those cases where it would be quicker/take less effort to whip up something like that than argue why not. If you don't like Perl (or Python or one of the other scripting tools) then you can write a HTML page with some embedded javascript that lets you enter or GUI-ise to pick a file to transfer each way. There's code for that out on the net. While "Cyberduck" exists for MAC and Windows, there is the CLI version "_duck" for Linux. https://duck.sh/?l=en Once again, doing a shell wrapper that makes the thing GUI-esque Heck, in the limiting case I can slave my phone to my PC and use the phone's ability to talk to Drive and do it as two-step. Like Larry says, "There more than one way to do it". And if one doesn't fall to easy effort try another. There's many more to go. You should also pay attention to the capabilities of 'fswatch'. All of the above is relevant to this thread. -- A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting frowned upon? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
