Syncs your local storage to Google Drive's appdata folder.

Appdata Preferences for Local Storage

Appdata Preferences for Local Storage seamessly syncs your local storage with Google Drive, you don't need to worry about persisting your user settings and application data anymore.

quickstart

Include appdatapreferences and configure it with an access token. Your access token need to be authorized for https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.appdata scope. You can go through one of the OAuth 2.0 flows to retrieve one or use Google+ Sign-In button.

Grab the dist/appdatapreferences.js and include it.

<script src="/path/to/appdatapreferences.js"></script>
<script>
    appdatapreferences.configure({ token: <access_token> });
    appdatapreferences.start();
</script>

Your storage will be initiated with the remote preferences on user's Drive. If this is the first time, your user is being synchronized with Google Drive, the library will initiate a new remote preferences file with his/her current local storage.

localStore['name'] = 'my name';

Continue to edit your localStorage and wait for your preferences to be synced. That's it.
