[Remind-Fans] save file .reminders in a cloud drive

[Claudio Pighin]

Thanks Tim.

Probably I'm doing something wrong. I did as follow:

1) I saved file ".reminders" in my Google Drive > folder "System" which I
can access by link
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1Cx6Wrxk4TuEeEJtTz1fBs8MeW03OSWlk
2) I gave following command using such a link and adding the file name:
remind -q
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1Cx6Wrxk4TuEeEJtTz1fBs8MeW03OSWlk/.reminders
|
gxmessage -buttons "OK:1" -default "OK" -center -font "ubuntu 10" -fg black
-bg azure -wrap -title "Reminders odierni" -file -
and the output was:
Can't access file: `
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1Cx6Wrxk4TuEeEJtTz1fBs8MeW03OSWlk/.reminders
'.
3) I tried another way giving to the command a link provided directly by
Gooogle Drive by right clicking on the file and choosing item "Get
shareable link". Google output was "
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1AevuZ66Z0gVMUKHSM-iVewuUUcVy7oDF".
4) I gave the following new command using such a link and adding
"/.reminders":
remind -q
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1AevuZ66Z0gVMUKHSM-iVewuUUcVy7oDF/.reminders |
gxmessage -buttons "OK:1" -default "OK" -center -font "ubuntu 10" -fg black
-bg azure -wrap -title "Reminders odierni" -file -
and the output was:
Can't access file: `
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1AevuZ66Z0gVMUKHSM-iVewuUUcVy7oDF/.reminders
'.

Could it be a password problem?

How to solve it?

Claudio :)
