libcloudproviders support

[returntrip]

@juliushaertl is it technically possible to integrate libcloudproviders for better shell integration? I guess it is not possible cause of flatpak sandboxing but worth asking the experts :).

I can use Topicons Plus to display the icon but that is not really how NC should integrate in Gnome 3. Plus I need to flatpak override --nosocket=wayland org.nextcloud.Nextcloud to have the icon display on Fedora Silverblue.

Yes, unfortunately flatpak is currently the blocking part here, but there has been some progress in https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/libcloudproviders/merge_requests/40

Thanks for the update! I will check what is blocking this over @ Gnome Gitlab.

Starting from nextcloud/desktop#1289 I ended up here. While most people manage to get a tray icon (under Shell) using Topicons Plus, I can't (Debian Testing). I've also tried the Ubuntu appindicators Shell extension, which gets me the Steam icon, but to no avail. The above suggestion using doesn't seem to work. I get error: Permission denied. It seems to be trying to write to /var/lib/flatpak/overrides/org.nextcloud.Nextcloud.something which my user can't do. Running the command as root creates the file it's trying to but running the client after still doesn't show the tray icon, even after a session restart. Any thoughts on that?

It starts successfully, but doesn't show the main window and I can't access it either as I have no icon. So my only way of configuration is the config files ☹️
