How does making new Google API keys help with an Amazon service?
- dekhn 9y agoIt doesn't, but the point stands that users should be able to create their own auth keys and use them to authenticate a third party application to the target service, rather than having the app author bake some arbitrary key into the code.
- eridius 9y agoWell yes, that would be nice, but it sounds like Amazon Drive doesn't operate that way, so rclone has no choice but to use a single shared API key.
