New plugin available: Cloud (access to Box, Dropbox, etc).

[PolpoPaul]

You mean copying within the dropbox, or from a local file to the dropbox?

From a local file to Dropbox.
Why don't you try and see yourself...?

Sorry, I'm currently very busy with the prepartion of TC 8.52a. Therefore providing more details saves me a lot of time.

Regarding your problem: The Dropbox REST API doesn't support a timestamp parameter when uploading, so it's impossible to copy the timestamp with the actual file data:
https://www.dropbox.com/developers/core/docs#files_put

The files_put function only supports these parameters:
locale, overwrite, parent_rev, autorename

From what I see Yandex also doesn't support a timestamp when you copy from a local file, or it's just a bug??



p.s.
When I view Yandex documentation there is "Downloading a file from the internet to Yandex.Disk" do you think that you can add this feature for this cloud or even others if they support it?

It doesn't support it.

It would be nice, but I don't currently see how I could make this work in the Total Commander user interface. Any ideas?

[krasusczak]

hmm maybe some pop-up window with a place to paste desired link localization

you can do this exactly like at this plugin interface: http://totalcmd.net/plugring/versions.html

when you are inside plugin there is "Add search" function, so this virtual "Add search" function need to be visible in each directory of the cloud in TC, if it possible of course

For me TC 8.51a x64 with cloud plugin 1.05 under Windows 8.1
has no problems to make Google Drive connections.
It needs no Admin rights to work.

Config in Program Files gives the problem that ini files can't be updated
without setting special rights to all relevant files.
I prefer to have a tools tree with Total Commander which is also completely self contained and can even be run from USB.

I've tried to get this to work correctly for weeks, thinking it may have to do something with my corporate firewall.

I would hit F7, then enter my info, OK, then nothing. No feedback, no error, no timeout, just Nothing. No new cloud link "folder" was created. No error file. Very frustrating since I didn't know what was supposed to happen.

So this time I started TC with admin privilege, and I am able to do everything. I then closed TC and re-opened with normal privilege, and I can still see the folder and access Dropbox and Onedrive.

So, lesson here is that it may be helpful to mention that Admin privilege may be necessary and/or put up some time of informative message to the user if the initial setup fails.

Otherwise, this is a GREAT addition to an already GREAT TC!

This means that the location of the wincmd.ini is set to a directory where you don't have write rights. Please check menu Help - About Total Commander for the current location. Plugins usually try to save their settings in the same folder as the wincmd.ini.

The cloud plugin uses the file name tccloud.ini. You can go to the wincmd.ini directory, press Alt+Enter on the tccloud.ini and give yourself write rights to it.

Perfect that worked.

Is there a reason why this plugin is not on totalcmd.net?
Are there any similar plugins?

ghisler(Author). First of all, thanks for the first pluggin that does work with GoogleDrive.

The one thing I couldn't find but would really like to is to see and manage files that SHARED with my account, but stored in a different one.

thanks.[/b]

[ghisler(Author)]

This is unfortunately not supported because it is specific to GoogleDrive. The plugin tries to handle the clouds in a unified way, which cannot handle such specific functions where completely different URLs would have to be used.

[4ezahernya]

That's really too bad. I wonder how it's possible for android total plugin and miss that functionality in windows. I hope, this plugin will be improved in future.

[ghisler(Author)]

On Android, there is a separate plugin for each cloud service.

[mcevoli]

Hi,

probably I'm missing something here... I've downloaded, installed and properly (I think) configured this cloud plugin. I can access my Google Drive and I see all files, although only the "external" files (ie not Google Documents, presentations or spreadsheets) have a correct file size. All native Google docs have 0 file size and no extension and I can't download locally, nor opening them. Is this the intented behaviour?

Thanks for clarifying this.

You can't download them even with a Web browser. What you can do (in the browser) is export them to either Microsoft office, Open Office, or PDF. This isn't yet supported by my plugin, though.

The Cloud plugin is mainly meant for data sharing with other computers, not for exporting documents created in Google Docs: If you are already in Google Docs (web browser), you can directly export them.
