Classic Pandora Handling Google Drive?

[ekianjo]

So MrConfusion could not find the google drive option in Libre (I don't know if this means that it is there or not, he probably had no time to check). But anyway, I was wondering if a dropbox like application exists on Pandora? One that can send files back and forth from a Windows PC?

Yes, you have Bittorrent Sync.

I could not find anything called dropbear in the repo?

Okay I understand now, but when installing the software on my PC, do I install the Windows version (I run Win 7) or the linux arm one? Probably another dumb question but eh.

Dropbear is a service part of the firmware. Activate it using the system menu. For Winscp install the windows binary on your win7 box. You'll be asked your pandora IP adress, your login and password. Then you'll be presented a ftp client-like interface where you'll be able to move file back and forth as you like.

So in other words, no pretty GUI for Dropbear?

Winscp is a gui (the "win" in the front of the name should have hinted you...)http://winscp.net/eng/docs/screenshots

Libreoffice : See http://code.google.com/p/ooo2gd/

Should work but I have not tried this plugin yet.

(Froze extension manager, don't have time to dig further... might be deep indeed... or might simple like missing JVM... or anything in between...)

No, because the assumption here is apparently that you do your dragging and dropping on the PC, not on the Pandora.

sebt3: Any graphical Samba clients that you happen know of? Could use one myself, I currently handle my transfers with smbclient from commandline...

^Gigolo it's right on the firmware.. Under System in the XFCE menu.

When I finally get a Pandora.. its going to give me a headache to set thigns up, huh? lol

 

[TrashyMG]

It's a good kind of pain though..

I hope so. When I got my first one, it was easy to do basic things. I was shocked that it even read my external drive.

Did anyone ever figure out if syncing to Google Drive/ Docs works on the Pandora? I finally ordered a CC unit and I wish to know.

Also I haven't really tried syncing stuff given that the Wifi is flaky. You could try in the current Chromium though.
