I've just read about google drive requiring security assessment after February 15, 2024 and
I wonder about ffs fate
https://www.ghisler.com/googledrivehelp.htmUnfortunately, access to Google Drive will no longer be possible with the cloud plugin after February 15, 2024 because Google suddenly changed the rules after almost 10 years:
Google now requires a security assessment following the extremely strict OWASP standard for all programs and Web services wanting to access all of a user's files on Google Drive. Unfortunately it is impossible for a plugin to follow these rules:
Plugins as such cannot be certified, only applications. Google Drive access would have to be built directly into Total Commander.
OWASP requires to follow very specific rules when developing a program. It cannot be applied to an existing program, so Total Commander would have to be rebuilt from scratch. This is completely impossible within a reasonable time frame.
OWASP rules are very strict, so Total Commander would no longer be able to use third party plugins.
The security assessment would have to be performed by a specialized company, and costs up to $75'000 per year and program (so $150'000 for 32bit+64-bit). This is not sustainable even with a subscription.
In conclusion, access to Google Drive will unfortunately no longer be possible after February 15, 2024.
I think we need @zenju's opinion on this
