Google Drive

You can synchronize your blog’s folder to Blot with Google Drive, a file hosting service available on most platforms. You can switch your blog seamlessly to another client at any point.

Can Blot access all the files in my Google Drive?

Yes. Unfortunately due to the design of Google Drive’s API, Blot cannot request restricted access to a single folder. However, we promise to only access your blog’s folder and you can review the code responsible.

One workaround is to create a second Google Drive account to use as an airlock between your real Google Drive account and Blot. You would connect Blot to your second Google Drive account then share your blog’s folder using Google Drive with your real Google Drive account.

Using your phone or tablet

There are a number of text-editing apps for phones and tablets which integrate beautifully with Google Drive.

Bandwidth limits

Google Drive’s traffic limits do not apply because Blot hosts the contents of your folder on its own server.

Multiple blogs

You can create more than one blog using Google Drive. When you add a second blog, Blot creates a second folder for the new blog.

You can switch seamlessly from Google Drive to another client at any point:

• Dropbox
  A file hosting service with wide support
