Simple Cloud Storage API

Question

I need to create a Java web application that uses the API of at least two different cloud storage providers (Google Drive, Dropbox, SkyDrive, Mega, ...). I am wondering if anyone has experience using these APIs that can tell which ones are the easiest to use and which are the most difficult ...

Answer 1

Temboo supports several cloud storage APIs and can generate the Java source code you need to access them.

See here: https://live.temboo.com/library/keyword/storage/

By normalizing API access, Temboo makes talking to one API as easy as talking to the next, so it looks like what you find useful for this project.

Answer 2

Kloudless provides a common API for several cloud storage APIs (Dropbox, Box, GDrive, OneDrive, etc.). Kloudless also provides SDKs in popular languages ​​and user interface widgets for handling authentication and other user interactions.

Answer 3

The Amazon S3 service is very simple, and I had a lot of experience with it for large files and a large number of files in the context of web services. After you have registered with the service, you can use the RESTful API to create buckets and load objects into them. The Java library is a reference library for interacting with services, although there are ports in other languages ​​(for example, boto for Python).

Answer 4

After a very little research on this, I found out that maybe a cloud storage provider with the simplest MediaFire API, which offers really easy interaction through RESTful services. You can see the API documentation . I haven't started working with this API yet, but it looks like it provided all the basic functions.

The API served by Box seems to be pretty simple as well. It uses OAuth 2.0 , which makes it more secure. See the developer site .

The 4sync SOAP API is also very simple. There is not much documentation there, and the samples on the website look from an older version, but it is very easy to use anyway. See the documentation here .
