Yes, I have SwissDisk. The free only limit to 50mb...and most of the time, it doesn't sync both ways...
That's a shame - I've never had that problem.Yes, I have SwissDisk. The free only limit to 50mb...and most of the time, it doesn't sync both ways...
About 4Shared, I found out they gave free 15GB. I can connect but I cannot make a folder & send file to it...
Looks like they've changed to read only over WebDAV.About 4Shared, I found out they gave free 15GB. I can connect but I cannot make a folder & send file to it...
You could try CloudMe they still offer read/write over WebDAV.
Sadly nothing 32bit that's available will work, or work well. Google drive works if you use a mobile phone useragent override though on the many FF52 based forks. Meaning they'll access drive without issue, but it wont let you create folders, etc. I've never used dropbox, so can't comment on that. There are newer webkit based browsers (Eolie, Epiphany) available in void linux, but they are either dog slow or crash prone on 32bit.
Now on the 64bit side of things it shouldnt be a problem as there are newer (and current) builds of Firefox and a bunch of current webkit based browsers that should handle those web interfaces without issue.
Cheers

Unfortunately @wicknix it's right.
We have to stop thinking about Linux (or any other OS, *NIX or not) like it's the savior or the magical solution of computing.
All huge companies would make anything to lock their "solutions" and make their users prisoners without any alternatives, so we as users should take control of our files, protocols, systems, technology etc.
DropBox and Gdrive are mostly an WebDAV (FTP or rsync), with some "fairy dust" in warped with some "fancy design",some useful and convenient tricks to make us forget how things actually works behind the curtains.
So, if you wanna continue to use those solutions you will continue to switch OS's from time to time, a newer version of OSX, Windows, Linux with flatpacks(because it's way more easy to make "an executable" than it's to make your source code and documentation available).
Because if you can access your files through any file explorer and sync it, you can do this with almost any OS (mobile or desktop) and not depend on their solutions. And using any browser to to this will require much more resources than many of real apps combined.
With the current and future landscape of selfhosting being in charge of our files will become a question of choice, but that's leave it for another day.
