Oh wow, thanks for that link. I've been wanting my users to be able to save data and share links for ages.

> mainstream cloud storage options, currently Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox, Github, Gitlab or Trello.
Anybody know of a library of service (preferably open source) that offers an easy API to interact with all these in such a way?
BrowserFS has a few different APIs integrated. Not the lightest library though.
I would also love such a library. I currently follow the same pattern of making web apps that only use local storage so I don’t have access to user data, but would like to allow users to easily use their existing cloud services for persistence.

Check out https://kloudless.com! (Disclaimer: I'm a co-founder)
Here's our open source file picker: https://github.com/kloudless/file-explorer/ (the server-side is closed source and requires a paid subscription beyond a point)
Maybe something like https://kloudless.com/ haven't used them though
Only other option I could find is https://github.com/rclone/rclone but it's a commandline tool

The remoteStorage reference client can also sync with Google Drive and Dropbox:

Another cool thing they did, is they built a Sandstorm.io app back in the day. There hasn't been enough interest for them to invest a lot of resources in updating it, but I still use draw.io on my self-hosted Sandstorm server too.
I've followed draw.io back since I met them at Google I/O in like 2010 or 2011, I think they were one of Drive's first third party apps.

I love these kinds of apps, but I haven't seen any with support for self-hosted cloud storage (Nextcloud). Is there a technical limitation behind that, or is it just lack of interest?

Right, I forgot about that - I actually have it installed on my instance. But my point wasn't specifically about Draw.io, but other cloud-synced web apps like StackEdit. It seems none of them have Nextcloud as a first-class option (some have WebDAV, but that's still a lot more complicated than Dropbox etc.).
I love this about Draw.io. This is how I want to build my applications. I don't want to deal with storing any user data and rather let them handle it how they see fit.
