sublime-text-file-sync's Introduction

Sublime Text File Synchronization

This is a plugin for Sublime Text that allows you to to synchronize your files using hosting services such as Google Drive, Dropbox, and OneDrive, allowing you to access the same file on different machines. (Currently in development!)

How to use this

Note: Only currently tested for MacOSX

Download Sublime Text 3
Navigate to ~/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 3/Packages and clone the repository
Go to this website, create an account, and authorize the application with Dropbox and/or Google Drive.
Go back to Sublime Text 3, login by right-clicking and going to Sublime-Sync > Login
To upload/update a remote server's file, click Update Remote. If the file doesn't currently exist in the remote, you will need to click Update Remote first. To download a remotely saved file to your current view, click Update Local. The names of the files you would like to save should be identical, and there should not be files with the same names in your remote server (at this time).
To logout, navigate to Sublime-Sync>Logout

Functions:

Upload files to and grab updated files from hosting services.

sublime-text-file-sync's Issues

Error dialog boxes

In the plugin, it would be helpful to include error dialog boxes when something doesn't go as planned -- i.e. authorization doesn't go through, or a call to update doesn't go through.

Dealing with exceptions throughout the project

DropboxRequest.py currently does not properly deal with invalid arguments and bad requests -- it would be great if this could be dealt with.

Implementing Google Drive synchronization

The Dropbox portion of the project is pretty complete, and the next part is implementing similar features using Google Drive's API in a similar format to DropboxRequest.py.
Because we can only use Python 3's urllib module in Sublime Plugins, it might be helpful to test out requests first using Python's requests module separately, which is much easier to use, and then switching that code back to urllib.

It would also be necessary to update the commands in the Context.sublime-menu to include future google drive functions, this could be done by adding three nested of selectors -- first Sublime-Sync, the second to choose between google drive and dropbox, and the third to contain the necessary commands.
