Hi, folks,
Finally I have something cool to show to you:

Any feedback is very welcome.
Finally I have something cool to show to you:
- NC got a new VFS: Dropbox. It works on par with FTP/SFTP, i.e. it is fully integrated into NC's internal infrastructure.
I personally found it quite entertaining to be able to edit a cloud-stored file with "vi" inside a terminal emulator
You can have any amount of Dropbox accounts set up and connected at the same time, regardless of your currently installed one, if any.
To grant NC an access to the storage, you need to login with your account on dropbox.com.
To grant access to different storages, simply perform the previous operation while being logged in with different accounts.
Performance note: this VFS provides no caching at all, much like SFTP does, thus may have networking lags, especially when dealing with many files.
But in practice, when using Dropbox VFS from my place, i.e. with VPN over ~10,000km, I have lags like 400-800ms, which is bearable. - NC finally got a network connections manager, where you can add new ones, and edit or delete existing connections.
At this moment it shows existing connections in Most-Recently-Used manner, this aspect might evolve at some point.
