  1. @mountainduckapp It took as a more time than planned to implement proper support using macOS #FileProvider and Windows #CloudFiles APIs but we are happy with the result 🚅

  2. Who has experience with using #iOS #Shortcuts in combination with third-party cloud storage integrated into iOS Files app (a.k.a. #FileProvider)? 📣😁

    I investigated on #Nextcloud on iOS not working with iOS Shortcuts to enable power users with some automation. It appears to me, that there is a common problem except for iCloud Drive and Dropbox. Does anyone have other experiences?

    See my GitHub issue for my notes about different cloud providers: github.com/nextcloud/ios/issue

  3. I’m on Team Storage with @ismh as I’m listening to Connected’s “I Like Clock” ep. overcast.fm/+FXx4OZ0qI/58:05

    This segment feels like the @tbridge intervention on one of our sessions when I brought up MBP storage prices / limitations and the failings of File Provider / file sync when it comes to expandable storage.

  4. The error — buried at the end of the txt file referenced in that dialog was basically the version of Dropbox, yes that one that asked me to do this, was "too old".

    I tried the latest version — nope, no go, tried the latest beta, that worked. It setup my new #FileProvider backed Dropbox but left my old one intact, never moved it. So I had to clean that up and make an alias in my home directory for any busted paths that I might bump into…

  5. I just filed FB11980196 to #apple to report that the latest #macos #ventura update is still so buggy that #spotlight can’t open files from third-party cloud storage (i.e., ones that rely on the #fileprovider APIs) or their containing folder, even though I’ve set them to always be available locally.

    I can search for and open the files using a terminal or Finder, they show up on Spotlight results, but since they are “managed" by #onedrive, I have to click through Finder and open them there.
