GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 591178
Add Google Drive support
Last modified: 2016-11-17 19:02:18 UTC
I created a small patch to be able to connect to Google documents easily through nautilus. For it to work, you will need >my GVFS branch [1]: I need to work on it to get it working perfectly. And it also needs to be reviewed. >libgdata >0.4 [2] This is part my Google summer of code project? [3] [1] http://github.com/thiblahute/GvfsGoogleDocumentsBackend/tree/googledocuments/ [2] http://git.gnome.org/cgit/libgdata [3] http://live.gnome.org/action/diff/thiblahute/Gsoc2009 ps: Sorry I didn't find any 'Connect to Server component" to fill up the bug.
Created attachment 140235 [details] [review] Patch to add a Google Documents entry in the connect Server dialog.
The patch looks fine, but we should wait until your GVfs backend lands before committing it.
Yes, I know it was just to put it somewhere if anyone want to try it. Thanks for the review :D
BTW, while reading the patch: + if (g_strcmp0 (meth->scheme, "gdocs") == 0) + gtk_entry_set_text (GTK_ENTRY (dialog->details->server_entry), "google.com"); Are all google doc's guaranted to be hosted on google.com? (I mean: doesn't google provide some hosting for corporate users on other domains choosen by the user?)
It should only be setting the default text when you select "gdocs"; you can change the text in the entry, but 'google.com' is a sane guess in this case.
Actually I am going to change it to "gdocs" since it's a dummy host which doesn't mean anything. At the end I chose "gdocs" in GVFS as a default dummy host since if I add a picassa backend, I want the host name to be deferent. Anyway, all the google documents are hosted by google, and the email adress (username) will make the difference. For example if you have an adress like "test@an_example.com", you can use any dummy hostname, and it will connect to the right place. Thanks for the reviews ;)
+1 for this enhancement. it would be great for many people.
Waiting desperately. Almost a year passed - any progress?
Hello! I have just registered only for this comment, because such functionality really need for Gnome's users. So, how is going? Or you have stopped to work on the Google Documents support?
I assume that the gvfs branch simply has not been merged yet.
Oh, thanks for quick reply. That's wonderful news!
I must agree fully. Its time for this to be integrated. He obviously quit working on this as soon as he finished with his term of service to Google summer of code, so its up to us, the community, to finish it. Is there any way that I can help to accelerate this process?
This is now supported and that bug does not make sense in the current context (where setting up google drive is done through GOA).
