Have tested this fork on my Kobo Clara Color and it's working like a charm. The only things that were a bit difficult were spotting that the config needed to be modified that's mentioned in the linked comment above.

Renamed, but haven't compiled to check it's all still working. I've added the config documentation and a short blurb about what to put in the Kobo eReader.conf.

Appreciate the work on this! Is anything blocking merging atm?

@pgaskin, there's a failing check for missing symbols in earlier firmware versions, can you advise please?

Because it seems the Google Drive support only appeared around firmware version ~4.38 or thereabouts :

❯ find Kobo\ Libre\ H2O/Firmware -name "KoboRoot.tgz" | sort -n | while read; do echo -n "$REPLY -> "; tar xvfO "$REPLY" usr/local/Kobo/libnickel.so.1.0.0 | strings - | grep _ZN14MoreController11googleDriveEv;done

Coming in with some fresh interested in getting google drive support merged into master.

I found that the sym check issue was easily solved by fixing the comments describing which firmware version the symbol is available in. I also added more firmware versions to be tested.

Here's the commit that solves it. Feel free to apply it, otherwise I'll open a new PR with the fix included.

https://github.com/MKolman/NickelMenu/commit/7c9066b55bc060e48d281ea7082ef84fa7122677

I did some more staring at the code and realized there was another mistake. Since Google drive integration was not available before 4.36 there's no use in having the check on line 158, since that particular function will never be available on that codepath.

Additionally, I unified the code between dropbox and gdrive since they were mostly the same other than different dynamically linked function being loaded in the middle. See commit:

https://github.com/MKolman/NickelMenu/commit/a919904b763bc2b7da200616230ced73a789a1e6

I tested that this still works on my Kobo Libra H20 on 4.38.23171

[tomtastic]

Thank you for this Maks, I hope I merged that correctly...

I tested it on Kobo Clara BW firmware version 4.43.23418. There's a small error in action_cc.cc - "gdrive" should be "godrive". I had to change it to make it work.
