https://opensourcealternative.to/alternativesto/google-drive#

This page lists five prominent open‑source alternatives to Google Drive, each with a different focus and feature set.¹

Main options on the page#

• Nextcloud – Full, self‑hosted collaboration suite with file sync, real‑time document editing, video conferencing, calendars, contacts, email integration, and even a local AI assistant, aimed at organizations needing strong privacy and data sovereignty.¹
• ownCloud – Enterprise‑oriented file sharing and data management platform with secure sharing, real‑time collaboration, strong compliance (GDPR, HIPAA, etc.), and flexible deployment (on‑prem, hybrid, or hosted in Germany).¹
• File Browser – Lightweight web‑based file manager that focuses on simple but powerful file management via a browser and CLI, with custom branding, multiple auth methods, and automation via a command runner.¹
• Seafile – High‑performance sync and share platform with strong emphasis on reliability, version control, permission management, and fast syncing of very large numbers of files, including an integrated collaborative editor (SeaDoc).¹
• Sandstorm – Platform for self‑hosting many web apps (chat, file storage, project management, document editing) with strong sandboxing security and an app‑store‑like installation experience for open‑source productivity tools.¹

How they compare to Google Drive#

• All five are open source and can be self‑hosted, giving you more control over where your data lives than Google Drive’s default cloud hosting.¹
• Nextcloud and ownCloud are closest to Google Drive’s full collaboration model; Seafile focuses more on fast, reliable sync; File Browser is mainly a file manager; Sandstorm is a broader app‑hosting platform that can include storage and docs as part of a larger toolkit.¹

Roundcube Webmail 1.6.11 access via google client#

To access Roundcube Webmail version 1.6.11 via a Google client, you typically need to set up OAuth2 authentication with Google. Roundcube supports OAuth2 login, requiring configuration of Google as an OAuth2 provider with a client ID and client secret obtained from the Google Cloud Platform.

Key steps include:

• Enabling OAuth2 in your Roundcube config by specifying Google as the provider.
• Registering your Roundcube installation as an app in Google Cloud to get the OAuth client ID and secret.
• Configuring the OAuth redirect URI to point back to Roundcube’s OAuth endpoint.
• Adjusting the Roundcube OAuth-related settings like oauth_provider, oauth_client_id, oauth_client_secret, and oauth_auth_uri.
• Optionally adding a Google login button in Roundcube login.

There are plugins for Roundcube that facilitate integration with Google Drive and use of Google OAuth2 for authentication. Properly setting up the Google client ID is essential and involves several steps in the Google Cloud Console.

Furthermore, for sending/receiving Gmail through Roundcube without OAuth, you can configure Gmail IMAP and SMTP settings manually, but OAuth2 offers a more secure and future-proof method.

Resources to configure:

• Roundcube OAuth2 configuration wiki page has detailed instructions on setting parameters to enable Google OAuth2 login.
• Google Cloud Console for setting up OAuth2 credentials.
• Plugins like RoundcubePlus’s Google Drive plugin for additional Google integration features.

If you want help on the exact configuration parameters or step-by-step guide for OAuth2 setup, I can assist further with those details.^{2345 6789101112131415161718192021}

Roundcube 1.6.11 oauth configuration settings example Steps to configure Redirect URI for Roundcube and Google Cloud Troubleshooting Google OAuth login errors in Roundcube Roundcube Google Drive plugin setup and required scopes

Here is detailed guidance on your queries related to Roundcube 1.6.11 Google OAuth and Google Drive plugin configuration:

How to obtain Google OAuth client ID and secret:

• Go to the Google Cloud Console (https://console.cloud.google.com).
• Create a new project or select an existing one.
• Configure the OAuth consent screen with User Type, Application name, support email, and add authorized domains.
• In Credentials, click “Create Credentials” → “OAuth client ID”.
• Select “Web application” and enter a name.
• Add your Roundcube URL(s) in Authorized JavaScript origins.
• Add your Roundcube Redirect URI in Authorized redirect URIs.
• Click Create and copy the Client ID and Client Secret from the popup.²²²³²⁴

Roundcube 1.6.11 example OAuth configuration settings:

$config['oauth_provider'] = 'google';
$config['oauth_provider_name'] = 'Google';
$config['oauth_client_id'] = 'YOUR_CLIENT_ID.apps.googleusercontent.com';
$config['oauth_client_secret'] = 'YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET';
$config['oauth_auth_uri'] = 'https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth';
$config['oauth_token_uri'] = 'https://oauth2.googleapis.com/token';
$config['oauth_identity_uri'] = 'https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v1/userinfo?alt=json';
$config['oauth_scope'] = 'email profile https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.email';
$config['oauth_login_redirect'] = true;  // optional for redirect after login

Replace placeholders with your actual credentials and Roundcube URLs.²⁵²⁶

Steps to configure Redirect URI for Roundcube and Google Cloud:

• Your Roundcube OAuth redirect URI is typically something like https://your-roundcube-domain/index.php/login/oauth.
• Add this exact URI to the “Authorized redirect URIs” list on the Google Cloud OAuth client creation page.
• Ensure your domain is added to the OAuth consent screen’s authorized domains.
• If needed, you can edit authorized URIs later in Google Cloud Console under your OAuth client settings.²⁷²²

Troubleshooting Google OAuth login errors in Roundcube:

• Ensure the redirect URI in Google Cloud and Roundcube config exactly match.
• Use the latest Roundcube version to get fixes for OAuth-related bugs (some older issues are resolved by 1.6.11).
• Check for browser issues around iframe or pop-up blocking Google OAuth pages.
• Look for errors in logs or browser console indicating OAuth failures such as invalid client, unauthorized redirect, or token issues.
• Verify OAuth consent screen is published and not in draft status.
• Some users report needing to handle refresh tokens explicitly since Google may not always issue one.²⁸²⁹³⁰

Roundcube Google Drive plugin setup and required scopes:

• Install the plugin from RoundcubePlus or similar.
• Rename xgoogle_drive/config.inc.php.dist to config.inc.php.
• In the plugin config, specify the Google OAuth Client ID and Secret.
• Enable the plugin in Roundcube’s config and clear caches.
• In Google Cloud Console, enable the Google Drive API for your project.
• The plugin requires scopes like:
  • https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.file
  • https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.metadata.readonly
• Add these scopes to your OAuth consent screen configuration in Google Cloud.³¹³²

wikipedia tools for saving articles log-in, im looking for a 3rd party browser#

For saving and managing Wikipedia articles with login support using third-party browsers or tools, here are some relevant options:

• The official Wikipedia app allows bookmarking articles and reading lists tied to your Wikipedia account, but accessing these saved articles on desktop browsers is limited. You can log into https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:ReadingLists to view saved articles linked to your user account.
• Kiwix is a popular offline reader and browser for Wikipedia articles that lets you download large parts or full copies of Wikipedia for offline use. It supports many platforms but does not inherently sync logged-in user data.
• XOWA is another offline Wikipedia browser that lets you download and browse Wikipedia on your computer or device.
• Extensions like Wikiwand improve Wikipedia reading experience but don’t have login or saving features synced to Wikipedia accounts.
• For browser choices that support login and saving features for Wikipedia or similar sites, mainstream browsers like Firefox and Chrome with respective add-ons may be necessary, as fully dedicated third-party browsers with Wikipedia login sync are rare.

If you want a recommended third-party browser known for privacy and good extension support to access Wikipedia and save articles, Vivaldi is one option that offers extensive customization and data sync features but still relies on extensions or site features for Wikipedia login and saving.

In summary, dedicated Wikipedia-focused third-party browsers with login and article saving built-in are uncommon, so using official apps or specialized offline readers plus standard browsers with extensions is the main approach.^{42434445 46474849}

Best browser extensions to save Wikipedia articles for offline reading#

How to sync Wikipedia reading lists between app and desktop Kiwix vs XOWA which is better for offline Wikipedia access How to import saved Wikipedia articles into a browser extension Privacy and security of third party Wikipedia saving tools

Here are detailed answers regarding your queries about Wikipedia offline article saving, syncing, and privacy:

Best browser extensions to save Wikipedia articles offline:

• The Kiwix browser extension allows offline reading of Wikipedia’s entire content through downloaded ZIM files. You download the Wikipedia archive separately and open it within the extension for offline browsing.⁵⁰⁵¹
• SingleFile is a general extension for saving complete web pages (including Wikipedia articles) as single HTML files for offline viewing, though not specialized for Wikipedia content.⁵²

How to sync Wikipedia reading lists between app and desktop:

• Wikipedia’s official mobile apps (Android and iOS) support synced reading lists across devices when you log in and enable sync in the app settings.
• A browser extension existed for syncing reading lists with the mobile app but is no longer supported; currently, syncing mainly happens through the apps.⁵³⁵⁴

Kiwix vs XOWA for offline Wikipedia access:

• Kiwix uses pre-indexed, compressed ZIM archives, providing full-text search and works well with multiple Wikimedia projects and some external content.
• XOWA downloads XML dumps and dynamically renders pages locally, supports wiki cross-linking better, but lacks full-text search. It offers a more flexible browsing experience for multiple wikis.
• Kiwix is simpler for general offline use, while XOWA may suit those needing richer cross-link functionality and updated content.⁵⁵⁵⁶

How to import saved Wikipedia articles into a browser extension:

• For Kiwix, you manually download ZIM files from https://download.kiwix.org/zim/ and open them within the extension or app.
• General page saving extensions like SingleFile save individual HTML files which you open manually in the browser.
• There is no universal import mechanism for syncing articles saved in external apps directly into browser extensions.⁵⁰⁵²

Privacy and security of third-party Wikipedia saving tools:

• Tools like Kiwix and XOWA operate offline without requiring internet access, so user data and reading activity remain private on your device.
• Extensions saving articles locally keep data on the device but ensure you trust the extension’s developers.
• Wikipedia’s own synced reading lists store data tied to your Wikipedia account with opt-in and deletion options, following their privacy policies.
• Always review privacy policies for third-party tools for data handling and storage practices if any internet communication is involved.⁵⁷⁵⁸

how do i display my github repo on my website? is there js codes to fetch/mirror?#

To display your GitHub repository on your website, you have several options including using JavaScript to fetch and mirror content or embedding it directly:

• Use GitHub Pages to host your repo as a website served directly from GitHub. This requires enabling GitHub Pages in repo settings and pushing static site files to a specific branch like gh-pages or main for user pages. Your site will be accessible via https://<your-username>.github.io/<repo-name>.⁷⁰⁷¹
• Use JavaScript with the GitHub API to fetch repo metadata, README content, or file listings dynamically. This typically involves fetching JSON data from endpoints like https://api.github.com/repos/username/repo and rendering it on your site. Example code would fetch repo info then insert it into HTML elements.⁷²⁷³
• Use client-side libraries like Repo.js or custom scripts to display repo info or files on your site.
• For mirroring the entire repo content locally or in your web server, cloning the repo and serving the files is common. You can do a mirrored clone with Git commands and host the static files yourself.⁷⁴⁷⁵
• WordPress users can embed GitHub repos with plugins like “Embed Repo for GitHub” which show repo details and code snippets in posts.⁷⁶
• To fetch specific files programmatically from a repo, JavaScript using the GitHub raw content URLs or API (with authentication if private) can be used.⁷⁷

If you want example JavaScript snippets or setup guidance for GitHub Pages or API fetching, I can provide those too. ^{787980818283848586878889}

is there web apps/ safari extensions/ tools that can save articles to read later? kind of like reading list on safari but a 3rd party with import/export options and free#

Here are some good free third-party web apps and Safari extensions for saving articles to read later that include import/export options:

• Instapaper: A popular read-it-later service with browser extensions and apps. You can save and organize articles, export highlights, and import/export reading lists. It supports offline reading and has a free tier with optional paid upgrades.⁹⁰⁹¹
• Raindrop.io: A bookmark manager with read-it-later features, cross-platform support, and import/export options. Has a Safari extension to save articles. The free plan offers a lot of functionality, including offline access.⁹²
• Omnivore: An open-source read-it-later service focused on privacy and data portability. It supports self-hosting or using the hosted version, with import/export, tagging, and search features.⁹³
• Pocket (previously a leading option) was announced to shut down but was widely used for syncing reading lists with import/export and browser integrations.⁹⁴⁹⁵
• Safari Reading List Exporter (Shortcut app on iOS/macOS) lets you export Safari reading list URLs to plain text or other read-later apps, although syncing back isn’t automatic.⁹⁶

These services and tools let you save web articles for later reading with some free tier offerings including browser extensions or Safari extensions. You can often export your saved lists to standard formats (HTML, CSV, JSON), then import into other supported apps.

If you want a fully free, privacy-focused solution with import/export, Omnivore is a strong candidate. Instapaper and Raindrop.io have richer features but some limits on free plans. Safari’s native reading list is tight with iCloud but offers less portability.

Let me know if you want setup help or recommendations tailored to your platform! ^{979899100101102103104105106107108109}
