This open-source solution simplifies cloud storage integration for React Native apps. _By Diego Zuluaga, Director of Solutions @ Futurewei · Published 2024-10-14 · Category: Open Source_ At the [React Universe Conf](https://www.reactuniverseconf.com/) 2024, the **Open Mobile Hub** (OMH), an open-source project under the Linux Foundation, launched a solution that will forever change how app developers integrate cloud storage services like Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive, Dropbox, and more into Android and React Native apps. The OMH Cloud Storage Module introduces seamless SDK interoperability, enabling developers to manage cloud storage effortlessly across platforms. It means no more juggling multiple SDKs or dealing with the complexities of service provider fragmentation. With a simple, unified interface, our module lets developers integrate cloud storage from multiple providers like Google Drive, OneDrive, and Dropbox seamlessly into React Native and Android apps. ## **Unified Storage for Modern Mobile Apps** We unveiled the OMH Cloud Storage Module, designed for **app developers who want interoperability across various cloud service providers** without the hassle of writing specific code for each. It supports **Google Drive** (both **GMS** and **non-GMS** devices), **OneDrive**, and **Dropbox**. Our module has been tested extensively on Android and iOS, ensuring stability for your app. For more details, you can watch the [full talk](https://www.reactuniverseconf.com/talks/from-fragmentation-to-unity-the-role-of-open-mobile-hub-in-modern-mobile-development) on the React Universe Conf website. ### Key Features: ![A table showing key features of OMH cloud storage](https://www.callstack.com/assets/table.png) > **Interoperability** is the future of mobile app development, and we are bringing that vision to life with **OMH**. This cloud storage module ensures a seamless and reliable connection between multiple providers, giving developers the freedom to write once and deploy anywhere. ## How to Get Started With OMH Cloud Storage Module Getting started is easy, and at OMH we provide comprehensive documentation to guide developers through the process. Check out the [Getting Started Guide](https://openmobilehub.github.io/react-native-omh-storage/docs/getting-started/). Here’s a quick rundown of the steps you need to follow. ### React Native Integration 1. **Install the necessary packages** from npm or GitHub. 2. **Set up Google Authentication** with appropriate scopes and client IDs. 3. **Integrate Google Drive storage** using the unified OMH API. Here’s a sample code snippet for **React Native**: [GitHub Gist](https://gist.github.com/openmobilehubgh/21c25f4699b1215e4aa9e51bd9d29664) #### Android Integration: For Android, here’s the updated initialization and storage client setup, along with examples for listing files and uploading a file: [GitHub Gist](https://gist.github.com/openmobilehubgh/f05c6dc427525e21fc81e9b250aa4612) ## Try the Sample App At OMH, we’ve built a **sample app** showcasing the module’s capabilities with **Google Drive**, **OneDrive**, and **Dropbox** integration. It demonstrates how your app can manage files and folders without requiring any modifications for each storage provider. Explore the [sample app](https://openmobilehub.github.io/react-native-omh-storage/docs/sample-app/) and experience the simplicity of the OMH Cloud Storage Module. ### See a single codebase running seamlessly on any device The following screenshots showcase multiple devices with Android, both with GMS and Non-GMS, and iOS. The same app works without changing a single line of code, supporting multiple map provider implementations (Google Drive, OneDrive, and Dropbox). ![GIF showing a single codebase running seamlessly on Android](https://www.callstack.com/assets/android.gif) _A single codebase running seamlessly on Android_ ![GIF showing a single codebase running seamlessly on iOS](https://www.callstack.com/assets/ios_gif.gif) _A single codebase running seamlessly on iOS_ ## **Create New Plugins** We're excited to invite developers to expand this module by **adding new service providers**. We’ve made it easy to implement new plugins, and our documentation includes step-by-step guides on how to get started.
