Google Drive relay

[alexgleason]

There needs to be a relay that stores your events as json files in Google Drive. You would visit the relay's website first, log in with Google, and then connect your Nostr pubkey to a Google Drive account. Then, whenever you publish to that relay with your pubkey, it creates a file at nostr/<eventid>.json on the user's Google Drive.

This relay couldn't be queried (it would always return empty results for all filters), but it would handle EVENT messages. You would want to configure it as a write-only relay.

This would allow people to conveniently back up their Nostr data without having to self-host anything. This type of fusion of freedom tech with legacy tech will help Nostr win.

I like it! The more options, the better.

I like your ideas. If I build this I think I will keep it simple at first. But I've thought about other providers, and rclone is a good idea.

This idea has been burning in my brain for too long. So I did it. The Google Drive relay is real:
