Apple made a generic solution for this on iOS and OS X. Document Provider Extensions (OK, new OS versions only). https://developer.apple.com/library/prerelease/ios/documentation/General/Conceptual/ExtensibilityPG/FileProvider.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40014214-CH18-SW1 If you want to read and write files from/to cloud storage then there's single interface and the device only shows providers that the user has installed/configured. The latter part you obviously can't get without being the OS provider and having providers write Extensions to tell the system they offer file storage. For Apple platforms at least it would make sense to mimic the interface as far as possible though, assuming you don't just want to wrap what they've already done. -- Mark Wilcox m...@sorcery-ltd.co.uk _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
