Can VBA copy file use a cloud service as target

[GraeagleBill]

I'd like to copy a file to a cloud service, like Google Drive or OneDrive. Can that be done?

Maybe. Review https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Fo...as-in-onedrive

Don't see why not. My Google drive is even assigned a drive letter, which can be changed?

I looked for a way to "map to network" drive for both Dropbox and OneDrive, but I don't see anything. How did you map a drive to Google Drive?

[Welshgasman]

It does it itself. However you can reassign another if need be.

YES! I see it now! I wasn't signed in to Google, which is somewhat strange in itself. Anyway, thanks, I'll now do some experimenting. (Too bad Dropbox only offers a minimum of 2TB of storage over an above the free 2GB. Obviously, they're not targeting home users)

OneDrive and SharePoint locations are a bit of a nightmare if someone hasn't logged in as you can't easily test the connection to them at that point.
Also you can't use any of the normal IsFileOpen type functions if it isn't mapped.

Some of this would be easily resolved if they M$ pulled their finger out and added the new browser combability they have pushed back (again).
On a windows 11 machine you can't force a connection to open on SharePoint through I.E.11 as it doesn't have it installed. (Which is the only way of using UNC paths, which is obviously preferred)

Thanks Minty. So far, Acronis can write its tib files directly to Dropbox and OneDrive, but hangs waiting for Google Drive to become free. Not sure what the latter issue is yet?
