Hey! This launcher is great.
Can you help me implementing it with the GoogleDrive API so I can use GoogleDrive instead of a normal FTP?
The thing is that GoogleDrive gives you a fast and big storage service.

I’v been searching for a free alternative ( an ftp server ) but everything is either too small, too slow or to expansive.
And GoogleDrive are giving fast 15gb ( which is pretty much enough for indie games ).

I’v been using their service for a long time for storage, sharing, downloading files.
It will be really great to be able to use it in the launcher.

It seems like I need to replace all the FTP functionality with the Google Drive API functionality.
I’v found a nice tutorial about it here:
Google Drive Authentication C# | Daimto

I have no experience with ftp and networks.

Hi ,

Implementing this as a protocol handler would probably not be very difficult with the new changes to the launcher. However, I would recommend having a look at Amazon S3 buckets, Google Cloud Storage or a VPS server instead of Google Drive. There are data rate limitations when using that, and game can easily crack the 15 GB limit.

However, I’ll look into it. I’m currently in the process of compiling a list of protocols I’d like to support - I’ll add Drive to it.
