Utilize Discord servers as cloud storage! [This only works on python 3-3.6.x]
In order for this program to work, you're going to need to create a discord bot so we can connect to the discord API. Go to this link to create a bot. Make sure to create a user bot and ensure the bot is private. Here's a picture to the configuration. Keep note of the token and the client ID.
The bot will need a place to upload files. Create a new discord server, make sure no one else is on it unless you want them to access your files.
To add the bot to the server (assuming your bot isn't public), go to the following link: https://discordapp.com/oauth2/authorize?client_id={CLIENT_ID}&scope=bot&permissions=0 Replace {CLIENT_ID} with the client ID you copied earlier. Then, select the server you just made and authorize. Your server should now show your bot like this.
Clone the repository and run pip install -r requirements.txt
to install the dependencies for the program.
Run python main.py -t {token} -r {room id}
to configure the program, copy and paste your token from when you created your bot. For the room ID, copy the channel ID with right click on the channel (developer mode must be enabled under appearance on Discord settings to have the option for Copy ID). Your configuration should look like this
You can delete config.discord
to reconfigure the program.
