Description Timothy 2013-02-15 18:06:26 UTC

All,

Please create an Akondi resource for Google Drive to allow browsing, uploading. downloading and managing contents.

This could be implemented through a plugin through Kontact, Dolphin and Konqueror.

This provides a way to share documents or other files with out having to attach them in the email.

Reproducible: Always

Comment 1 Daniel Vrátil 2013-02-18 10:04:31 UTC

Google Drive is a filesystem-like service, therefore it should be implemented as a KIO slave, not as an Akonadi resource.

But first we need implementation of Drive API in LibKGAPI, then we can start writing the KIO slave, hence I reassigned the bug & changed it's title :)

There has been an effort to implement the API in LibKGAPI (there's even a branch in LibKGAPI), but I haven't seen any activity in a while and I've never reviewed the code. I'll try to get in touch with the author again and see what's status on this.

Thank you for taking the time to look into this.

There is also the keep functionality for notes on google drive:

https://drive.google.com/keep/

It would be great to have this as part of the implementation of Google drive to sync notes between android devices and kontact.

Thanks,

Arnout

Google Drive rest api has been implemented by libkgapi for a long time now, so I'm taking the liberty to close this wish.
