Hi! Depends on what it entails. I don't want to add features that interact with APIs. At least not at this point. But if there is a way to interact with the file system or mount that works with Google drive, it's maybe worth considering. Especially if it opens up a new platform. File I/O is handled in multiple places in novelWriter, but most of it is passed through a small set of core classes, so if we're talking about adding a layer of abstraction, that should be fine. There's already some abstraction for storage, but it handles it on the file path level, not the I/O stream itself. |

We discussed briefly the possibility of Google Drive synchronization in an issue I posted about getting novelWriter working on a Chromebook #1676
Are you still interested in that collaboration? I would very much like to implement this feature if you are on board. A set of guidelines for how you would like things to work would be a good start so i'm not going totally AWOL. But I'm willing to do the grunt work. rclone can do synchronization with Google Drive, i'm not sure if you would want it to work like it does or if you would just like it to work with the filesystem that gets created when you mount a Google Drive using rclone or similar software. Both have their pros and cons.
