Re: Intent to implement: File system provider API

Hi All, It seems there is no strong objection to this API, so we would like to start the implementation. If you have any further question, please leave your comment on *Bug 1187223* . Thanks. On Wed, Jul 29, 2015 at 12:39 AM, Jonas Sicking

Re: Intent to implement: File system provider API

For FirefoxOS devices, I think FileSystemProviderAPI provides a capability to connect to other type of storage, not only well-known cloud storage, for example Dropbox, but also user's private cloud. With FileSystemProviderAPI, FirefoxOS provides apps a general or easy way, for example DeviceStorage

Re: Intent to implement: File system provider API

The motivation behind this is to let Firefox OS has the ability to access files on cloud storage. With file system provider API, we can allow device storage API to read/write files on cloud storage seamlessly. From user's point of view, I think it would be better to use our current music/video/gall

Hi Jonas, Is there any document or bug for the new addon architecture? We'd like to know more details and put it into our design. Best Regards, Shih-Chiang Chien Mozilla Taiwan On Mon, Jul 27, 2015 at 6:31 AM, Jonas Sicking wrote: > On Sat, Jul 25, 2015 at 7:14 AM, Kershaw Chang > wrote: > >

Re: Intent to implement: File system provider API

Since the addon model on Firefox OS is not implemented now, I still use the old term "apps" in previous mail. I also think it makes much more sense to make this API to be only available for addons. In addition, do we have a way to let an API only be used by addons now? Thanks. On Sat, Jul 25, 201

Re: Intent to implement: File system provider API

I think we should allow addons to implement something like this. But I don't think it's something that we should let apps do. / Jonas On Fri, Jul 24, 2015 at 1:13 AM, Kershaw Chang wrote: > Hi all, > > Summary: > File system provider API [1] is now supported by Google. This API allows > develope
