Devlog #10: Cloud Provider File Actions (WIP)

Currently working on the cloud provider services API of my backend, making file actions such as uploading files from the local filesystem to a cloud provider (Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox) possible.

Cloud Provider Services (WIP)

I recently just implemented the OAuth process for Microsoft Entra/Graph in order to access the Microsoft OneDrive API, which differs quite significantly from the Google Cloud OAuth process for Google Drive API, despite the fact that both services use the OAuth2.0 protocol. For one, Google uses centralized endpoints and the unified Cloud dashboard to manage desktop apps that require access to Google user information. Microsoft uses their identity platform (Microsoft Entra UID) with endpoints that can be multi- or single-tenant. The actual scopes where the REST APIs for Microsoft OneDrive and other services resides in Microsoft Graph.

Implemented Glob Processing + Ignore Rules for FileSystemWatcher

In my application, the user can implement ignore rules for specific folders, allowing the application to prevent any matching files or folders from being monitored and uploaded to the cloud. The specific glob rules I referenced come from the VS Code docs: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/glob-patterns

Essentially, I have a collection of methods that parse the glob and turn it into a regex, which I can confirm is a match with a specific path through Regex.IsMatch().
