Cloud service support for Kobo v0.2
Installation
Copy the KoboRoot.tgz archive in the .kobo directory of your reader (it is a hidden directory, so you might want to enable the visualization of hidden files) and restart your Kobo.
Configuration
After restarting, plug your kobo back into the computer. Navigate to the .kobo directory. A new kobocloud directory should have appeared. Inside, edit the file kobocloudrc to add the links to the cloud services (one per line).
Notice: No subdirectories are supported at the moment, so be sure that your books are all in the same directories that you are sharing.
Nextcloud (Owncloud)
To add a nextcloud (owncloud) link, open your nextcloud website in a browser and select the folder that you want to share. Click on "Share" and select "Share with link". Copy the link into the kobocloudrc file.
Please note that you need a recent Nextcloud version. Owncloud is at the moment not tested, but should also work.
Dropbox
To add a Dropbox link, open your dropbox in a browser. Select the folder that you want to share and click "Share" and "Send link". Copy the link that appears into the kobocloudrc file.
Usage
The new files will be downloaded when the kobo connects to the Internet for a sync.
Troubleshooting
KoboCloud keeps a log of each session in the .kobo/kobocloud/get.log file. If something goes wrong, useful information can be found there. Please send a copy of this file with every bug report.
Known issues
No subdirectories are supported
Support of Google Drive can be considered if there is demand
Acknowledgment
Thanks to the defunct SendToKobo service for the inspiration of the project and for the basis of the scripts.
Curl for Kobo was downloaded from here: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?p=3734553 . Thanks to NiLuJe for providing it!
Thanks to Christoph Burschka for the help in updating this tool to the recent versions of kobo and nextcloud.
The attached archive contains the following files:
Installation:
1) Create a "EbookSync" folder on your gdrive, set as readable from all those which have the link. This is the folder where you will put your ebooks to send them to the reader.
2) explode the archive on your kobo sdcard
3) to authorize the kobo on your gdrive you have to:
4) Lauch it. If you have kfmon installed you should be able to do it from the provided icon, otherwise you will have to hack your preferred launcher to start /mnt/onboard/.drive/sync_gdrive.sh On the first run it should create a gdrive folder on your kobo, with a .gd subfolder needed to authenticate the client on your GDrive.
After syncing the script will fake an USB connection / disconnection to force the kobo to update the library. You have to push the "connect" button or the new ebooks won't be added to the nickel catalog.
