How to create a cloud storage application in Qt ?
-
Hi, I am planning to create a simple cloud storage application in qt to store documents, pictures, mails and videos. Can you provide me the best qt apis/suggestions (or both) to create a simple cloud storage application from scratch?

Hi,
Before anything else: what storage backend are you going to use ? Cloud storage is way too vague a concept to be used like that.

I think openstack backend. I am not sure which backend is the best to use with qt.
-
OpenStack is the infrastructure. For the storage service it's up to you to select the one that fits your needs. You should likely go with something like Minio or CEPH which provides an S3 compatible service. You can implement the protocol using QNetworkAccessManager.
-
How do I import ceph or minio inside my app so that it can store files?
-
You don't import them. They are server side components.
That said a simple search for CEPH S3 C++ library returns this.
And the same query for Minio, returns their client library.

Are you planning to write a server application or a client application?
