[Feature Request] AWS S3 Endpoint #150

Open utdrmac opened 5 years ago

utdrmac commented 5 years ago

Being able to use any S3-compliant endpoint for storage would open up a huge list of alternatives than just Dropbox and Google Drive.

Just a few: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amazon_S3#S3_API_and_competing_services Not listed above, but certainly notable: Google Cloud Storage, Wasabi, MinIO

Took a quick look into this to see what it would take to get a workable test going. I've used S3 in a command line client way but never anything very comprehensive.

Looks like the official SDK for this from Amazon is Boto. In order to get something like this working for Kodi that project, and it's dependencies, would need to be wrapped within a module addon for Kodi first. I checked and currently I didn't see anything AWS related in the repo but I could be wrong. The same would go for any additional storage methods.

Would definitely be nice to have some additional options to push backup data to.
