No option for cloud game data download

Post by lbadott »

Hi,
I recently migrated my cloud storage from OneDrive to Google Drive.
In OneDrive I had the option to download game data between my devices with cloud sync:

Unfortunately I cannot seem to enable it with Google Cloud. There is just no button to download cloud game data anywhere:

Google Drive is set up correctly because save data works fine.
How can I setup ScummVM to work with Google Drive for game data sync as well?

You cannot. The game data download option is not available when using Google Drive.

Oh, ok, that's a pity.
Is it some kind of a technical reason or just it's not implemented yet due to other priorities?

I don't really know the reason but my guess would be that it is related to the limitation mentioned on https://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php?titl ... ison_Table. This suggests that there is a technical issue to support subdirectories (needed for game data) but also that this could be supported with some workarounds. So maybe that is the reason it is not supported, and maybe there is some hope if somebody is motivated to try to support it.
