Is Dropbox/GDrive sync a hard dependency?

Open xeijin opened this issue 7 years ago • 3 comments

I want to run this at work as a server on my desktop, which just references files from a local folder, so I can take meeting notes from my iPad. Connecting to a Dropbox is a definite no-no, should local use work ‘out of the box’ or would I need to make a few changes?

Also, just wanted to say: Org-Web is impressive in its capabilities and the UI is well thought out, particularly like that you preserve idiosyncrasies of org-mode where this makes sense instead of just trying to abstract (e.g. date selection and repeating indicators) - reminds me of Magit’s approach which means you actually ‘learn’ as you use. Really appreciate the consistent work on the project too, keep it up!

Ah just noticed in the sample file it says org-web is completely client-side, perhaps I have just answered my own question ... :)

Imagine it isn’t high up on your priority list but would it be hard to to add this kind of functionality do you think?

Hi @xeijin! I do have plans to support more sync backends. WebDAV would probably be the most the most relevant to your use case, as you could set up a local WebDAV server to serve files from.

Local file sync? It would be nice to be able to use this with something like Syncthing.
