Cloud Sync (Google Drive + Dropbox)

Configure Cloud Sync uploads for recordings using Google Drive and Dropbox

VDO.Ninja can upload recording chunks to cloud storage as part of podcast/studio workflows. This is useful for redundancy and remote collaboration.

Google Drive

Google Drive uses an in-app OAuth flow.

1. Open the podcast studio and find the Cloud Sync card.

2. Click Link Google Drive.

3. Complete the Google popup authorization (drive.file scope).

4. Confirm the status switches to Linked.

Optional folder targeting:

&gdrivefolder=YourFolderName

Dropbox

Dropbox also supports OAuth linking in the Cloud Sync card.

1. Click Link Dropbox.

2. Complete the Dropbox popup authorization.

3. Confirm the status switches to linked/success.

The OAuth flow can store refresh-capable credentials locally so uploads can resume in future sessions.

Manual Dropbox token fallback

If popup auth is blocked in a kiosk or constrained environment, you can still provide a token manually:

• Paste a token into the Dropbox field in Cloud Sync, or

• Use &dropbox=YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN

Manual tokens can expire quickly, so OAuth is recommended for normal use.
