[Request] Pre-built application bundle about mydrive

[HarrisonMayotte]

Are you requesting a desktop client for the application or just an executable bundle that can do the setup as an executable (rather than following all the steps yourself, it just prompts you for the info it needs, and you can opt for an "advanced setup" if you need something else).

I was thinking a bundled executable, with the added benefit of not having to setup your own "app" on Google Cloud, but use a common one registered by the developer.

Oh so more of a SaaS model than set up your own instance, if I'm following correctly?

[davidmessem]

Sorry, I think I'm doing a bad job of explaining what I mean.

Not necessarily SaaS. The instance can run on your computer, but more of a user friendly install and setup process. I'm imagining you download a self-contained .exe/.app file and launch that to start up myDrive. No need for node or npm install, no need to set environment variables or encryption keys. If you want to use Google Drive you wouldn't need to setup your own app with access_key etc. on Google Cloud.

A non-developer isn't generally comfortable with those tasks and even as a developer I found it a bit time consuming and error prone, but I'm still really keen to try it out because I like the concept.
