I love my remarkable 1 but don’t use it very much because I don’t want to be tethered to yet another company’s cloud, and I want document syncing not to require another app or website. I won’t buy a R2 until they add support for one of the big cloud storage providers like Dropbox or OneDrive or gDrive or something.

The device itself is great; the OS is a little slow and takes a little getting used to navigate; recent updates made it better. The tactile feel is great.



As the top comment mentions the remarkable runs embedded Linux, it would be pretty simple to make your own syncing software and there’s likely alternative open source programs already made to do exactly what you want


Most people don't want to have to ssh in and hack some solution together that probably doesn't work well or would take a load of your time. They just want a setting screen with a list of cloud services so they can log in to the one they want.


This reminds me of the top comment on the original HN launch for Dropbox
