Cyberduck for Cloud-Access

[bobesch]

Recently I found out, that the latest Cyberduck-App for Intel-Macs supports two-way autentification for Dropbox, Googledrive and others.
I've mailed the developers, if the PowerPC version of Cyberduck could get this feature too (currently there's only/at least webDAV-support).
He answered, that they ceased PPC development but since Cyberduck is OpenSource anyone is free to implement that feature into the old PPC-version.
Unfortunatly I have no programming skills at all, but maybe someone here has knowledge and fun for that task. It could open a long-term option to get/keep access to main Cloud-providers.

@gavinstubbs09, are you thinking what I am thinking?

You mean, there might be some hope for an enhanced Cyberduck?
I haven't even a rough idea how much work has to be done to get GoogleDocs and Dropbox run with the PPC-version...

There may be some workarounds that can be employed here, but I would have to do some research.

Copy and paste source code from Intel into PPC compiler. Recompile.

Too bad it's not that easy.

I haven't used dropbox in a long time but I *think* I used to use it on my G4 iMac. Is the PPC client for dropbox really bad now?

Hardly. Czo keeps up relevant. But you need Leopard now. Officially Dropbox cut us off over a year ago.

Holy.... this is amazing!

Cyberduck would be an alternative option to bypass both native clients and (slow) access through browser.

I guess the developers are really responsive for any help - had a nice email conversation.
And hey, they have a 12" Powerbook on one of the pictures on their homepage

It is really a shame, as a lot of programs would easily be backported then.

I wonder if there would be a better method of using a native client...
