Cloud streaming

[andy.room]

Sorry for opening a new topic, but search didn't take me anywhere.
Is there a way to stream files located in a cloud such as DropBox, Google Drive, OneDrive or Mega?
It would be very useful to have a library accessible from anywhere and on the occasion playable with RuneAudio as if it was a NAS mount.
Thanks for your help.

I'm also interested in this . Would be nice to access my NAS from work or while on holiday . I have a spare Pi and XMOS/Sabre DAC begging to get used

cheers

I have seen that ArchLinux supports Dropbox access, but I would need some advice in order to have my Dropbox folders mounted on my PI and usable as a NAS. Anybody can help on this subject? Thanks

Did some more investigation on this subject (accessing a cloud with RPI and stream music from remote folder), but didn't get to anything practical.
For sure it requires more Linux skills than mine. I have found some instructions to set up your own app to connect with Dropbox but I am not sure it would work with ArchLinux environment. I renew my request for help to the Community. Thanks.

I found the solution that I was looking for .
Tried to install the script using "pacman -S" instead of "apt-get install" and the following is what I have got:

[root@runeaudio ~]# pacman -S davfs2
resolving dependencies...
looking for inter-conflicts...

Packages (2): neon-0.30.0-1 davfs2-1.5.2-1

Total Download Size: 0.18 MiB
Total Installed Size: 1.12 MiB

:: Proceed with installation? [Y/n] Y
:: Retrieving packages ...
error: failed retrieving file 'neon-0.30.0-1-armv6h.pkg.tar.xz' from mirror.archlinuxarm.org : The requested URL returned error: 404 Not Found
warning: failed to retrieve some files
error: failed to commit transaction (download library error)

Am I doing something wrong or is the script not compatible?
Still hope for your help.
Thanks.

Hello Frank,
I've been able to stream music from a remote folder of a cloud provider (box.com). Everything works fine and I wish to publish in this forum the complete procedure. I just need a very simple hint from you (but not for me..lol):
How can I launch my mount sequence automatically when the system starts up?
I have created a script (/usr/bin/mount-box.sh) that works fine when launched manually, but I do not know the way to run it automatically everytime the system boots.
Can you help me please to complete my task?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Thanks Frank, everything is very clear......but even if I do not get any error, the automatic launch of the mount procedure doesn't happen.
I tested the my "mount-box.service" file with "# systemctl is-enabled mount-box.service" and the answer is "enabled".
Tried to reboot or shutdown several times...same result.
It only works if I execute my script manually...straight forward
Any ideas?
Thanks again
