It was said we would see support for additional cloud storage service in further Sailfish version. If possible I'd like to have an implementation of HiDrive from German Strato AG. There is an API for that (https://dev.strato.com/hidrive/), but I'm no developer at all..
WebDAV, FTP and so on are supported by HiDrive as well (hope we'll see these protocols in sailfish 3), but a native implementation would be nice.

Hi Cryx!
I did some research on this topic:
Sailfish is capable of mounting webdav accessed Folders to the file system allready.
Installing NielDK's package "davfs2" from open repos enabled me of mounting my cloud storage (magentacloud) to rhe file system. Mounting needs to be done as root user. I did this using the terminal. The drive is unmounted when restarting the device though.
It should be possible to mount the drive when booting automaticaly by editing the appropiate files as root user. (fstab, secrets) I didnt try that by now. I could figure this out and make a "how to" if some of you folks are interested. Please let me know.
What i did so far: (assuming you have the terminal installed and know your root password).
Mount the folder by typing:
mount.davfs https://webdav.magentacloud.de ./ -o uid=nemo
was my mount command with
Your cloud based files shoud show up here now.
Good luck ;)

Hi Cryx! I totally agree! Hope to see webdav & co in sailfish 3 too.
Meanwhile (i'm working with german magenta cloud) you may want to use some android app to access cloud stored files at least.
I'm using "Solid explorer" ("ES file explorer" should work too) to access my magentacloud files from my jolla 1 using webdav.
Maybe this will work for you too until native support is realized?
Cheers!
Isn't this something for you?

BonoNL ( 2018-06-12 22:22:59 +0300 )editHiDrive has an own Android App that can be installed via Aptoide, Yalp and even Amazon App Store (but the version at Amazon is more than a year outdated...).
Idea begin my initial post was that Jolla mentioned to add some cloud services in Sailfish 3 - and I wanted to hint them on the HiDrive Service and the point that there's an official API that (to my mind) would offer a relative simple integration in the os.
Nevertheless: Thanx for the suggestions!

yeah, i'd like to have a native sf-version of that too!

Dreej ( 2018-06-12 23:53:16 +0300 )editYou can also ask Strato to provide support for their product themselves by either creating an App or by contributing a package to SFOS / MER. Jolla probably has better things to do than implementing support for every single cloud provider out there. Personally, I'm favoring native implementations (like WebDAV and owncloud/Nextcloud support) to keep a nice, clean list of account providers.
