tabs-to-cloud's Issues

Give feedback on clicking icon

Clicking icon saves the tabs, but it doesn't give the user any notification that it's done so.

Different folders for each PC on same account

This should be easy enough to do.

Just generate a unique ID, store it locally then use that as the first folder.

I've mostly done this already, just need to tweak a few things which I'll do later. Also need to make this a toggle-on option.

function generateUniqueID() {
    var randomPool = new Uint8Array(32);
    crypto.getRandomValues(randomPool);
    var hex = '';
    for (var i = 0; i < randomPool.length; ++i) {
        hex += randomPool[i].toString(16);
    }

	chrome.storage.local.set({
		unique_id : hex.substr(0, 6)
	}, function () {
		callback();
	});
}

Add link to Github in popup

As far as I can tell you need to make a popup.html for this, but that seems weird if true.

Need a new logo

Need this prior to release, mainly due to the change from the original idea (Tabs to Dropbox), and the branding guidelines of both Chrome and Dropbox.

Idea is simple, something with a cloud and tabs. How the hell to make it look, I have no idea.

Support Google Drive

This is the last out of the three main cloud storage providers I'd like to support.
For the most part, this doesn't seem to hard to implement, the problem is on the security side.

Both Dropbox and OneDrive have public app folders. This means we can simply just request access to them, instead of the users entire drive. It's a lot safer and easier to work with.
Google Drive on the other hand, while it does have app folders, they are completely hidden from the user and can only be accessed through the apps API requests. (This doc details it a bit more)
Sadly there doesn't appear to be any way to restrict the app to a certain folder either, as per this StackOverflow question: http://webapps.stackexchange.com/questions/80563

Unsure what would be the best way to go about this. I'd really not have to get the request permission for the users entire drive, but maybe that's just me.

Option to compress .JSON

Would be nice to have this.
Compressing to zip should be simple, but I'm really not too sure about other formats. Need more research.
