Hi all, Summary: File system provider API [1] is now supported by Google. This API allows developers to create apps that support virtual file systems and make files stored on these to be available by Device Storage API.
Use case: One of the use cases is to let Firefox OS have the ability to access cloud storage. With this API, users who install the app can have the cloud storage seamlessly integrated into Firefox OS. Accessing files on cloud becomes as easy as accessing locally. Idea of implementation: The idl should be very similar to Google's [2]. We plan to have this available to certified apps only. This will be released to privileged app until we think the implementation is mature enough. Link to standard: No formal specifications found on w3c. This API is only supported by Chrome OS now. Platform coverage: Firefox OS only. Bug: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1187223 Estimated or target release: We are looking to have this completed by Dec. 2015.
