[9fans] 9PCloud

Hi 9fans,

Just working with 9PCloud today, made a backup of some files I'm going
to 3D print in the next four weeks - ended up making two copies, one
in a specific folder, one in the parent folder...

Was wondering if I'd be able to connect to the 9PCloud via my Mac9P
(Finder interface) to do some management on the files rather than
through the web interface? This may work for people who wish to have a
"Dropbox alike" interface.

Failing that, how can I delete the second copy of the files from 9PCloud?

Many thanks!

Shane.

a pair of dedicated clients for plan 9 would be straightforward.  the
client would need to authenticate the user (oauth2), then switch the
session to websocket over which 9p messages travel.   a plan 9 import
client (in go) would post the 9p connection to /srv; it can then be mounted
anywhere. exporting would be similar; after a successful auth, it would
start exportfs and relay 9p messages between the exportfs fd and the
websocket. it is something i would like to do at some point.

on 9pcloud, in the local file explorer (panel on the left side) each file
name has an "X" icon next to it; clicking the X will delete the
corresponding file from the local html5 filesystem. also, the html5
filesystem on the browser that 9pcloud creates is temporary; if you restart
your browser the 9pcloud fs in the browser is wiped clean.

btw, this chrome extension (
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/html5-filesystem-explorer/nhnjmpbdkieehidddbaeajffijockaea?hl=en-US)
 lets you view any local html5 filesystem when you visit the site that
created it.
