Add support for Google Drive? #593

Open sagz opened 2 years ago

sagz commented 2 years ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. No problem. Just wondering if Maestral is open to expanding to GDrive/OneDrive :)

Describe the solution you'd like Being able to add different cloud services, maybe every backend that rclone supports paired with Maestral's beautiful GUI?

Describe alternatives you've considered There's CloudMounter, Mountain Duck, Transmit 5 etc but none are open source :) rclone works but isn't as accessible!

I couldn't find other Github issues about such a macro/meta discussion so apologies if this is already repeated!

@sagz, for OneDrive, you would be better off with https://github.com/bpozdena/OneDriveGUI/releases and https://github.com/abraunegg/onedrive?tab=readme-ov-file#features, because OneDrive support is not whatsoever trivial to implement. In fact, I would consider it obviously infeasible without some serious additional support considering that it would be mostly reinvention of the wheel without the support that the aforementioned counterpart receives.

I would too, however, support Google Drive integration, for I know of no decent alternative, and due to its API's adherence to standards (comparatively) and thus apparent relative ease of implementation, as demonstrated by the numerous integrations of it in most mainstream desktop environments, it should be feasible to implement.
