Hi Arlen, nice work on twcloud! I'll try it out. As for Google Drive, it turns out a much better version already exists here https://tiddlydrive.github.io/ so I guess I wasted an afternoon. (Not really, because I had wanted to learn the Google Drive API anyway.)
I remember seeing the TiddlyFox saver but I guess I didn't realize how flexible it is. I wonder if I could have used it instead of adding the CustomSaver. When I created the CustomSaver I had a very different idea for the project based on AWS. But eventually I realized that was more work than I wanted to do and decided that Google Drive would be quick and easy.
