[iOS] add cloud storage connection,such as OneDrive, Google Drive, Alipan, Baidu

[iOS][Andriod]
The network is more and more popular and convenient，
So I think foobar2000 should add the connention of cloud storage,
such as Onedrive, iCloud, Alipan, Baidu drive, Google Drive, Dropbox, etc.
if so the users can play media files online, Do not download to the local.

It sounds like an extensive amount of features that would have to be added.

I would say a separate app such as Foldersync might handle this better, but then of course you are stuck with local files.

Also you could try just pointing FB2K to a shared cloud provider folder (eg dropbox).
 

Foobar2000 should support connect cloud storages. such as OneDrive

Foobar2000 is an excellent music player, I think it should support to connect the cloud storages,
such as OneDrive, Google Drive, Dropbox, Alipan Drive, Baidu Pan Drive, etc. because so many users
save their media files on the cloud storages.

This is exactly what you said in the first post. Repeating it won't help,the developer decide whether or not it will get implemented.

machine translation：
I don't think this is a necessary feature. Although it sounds great, it may not be as enjoyable to use as you think because it requires networking and caching. It's better to put it on a USB drive.
Another thing is that there are many online players with networking functions online, which require a massive music library and copyright support. Obviously, this is not FOOBAR's strong point.
Just play it well on the local player.
==============
我不认为这个是必须的功能，虽然听起来很爽，实际用起来估计没你想的那么美好，因为这个需要联网，需要缓存，不如放U盘里面更好用。
还有就是网上有很多在线联网功能的播放器，这个需要海量的曲库和版权支持，显然这个不是FOOBAR的强项。
本地播放器干好播放就行了。

No one goes out with a flash drive.
Obviously, Online playback is the most convenient, Since the internet is also very fast now.

Please note that I'm not ignoring the requests and ideas.

I just don't have time to investigate/implement/maintain interaction with so many different external services.

Also, self hosted solutions work well. I have my music on SMB+FTP server, behind wireguard VPN. Though setting this up requires some technical skills and a public IP address.
Microsoft Windows: We can't script here, this is bat country.

BubbleUPnP has recently pulled Google Drive support because:

Google now requires app developer to do an expensive annual security audit of the app,
which is cumbersome and that I cannot justify.
It's not just about the development time.

You could, if you needed to.  We used to.  It's just a case of being organised – which modern technology is making easy to ignore, and that's pandering to laziness.
It's your privilege to disagree, but that doesn't make you right and me wrong.

People like to keep their data on cloud storages and then use apps to connect the cloud storages and work with data. this is the popular way.

In some cases yes. But some areas still have very high prices for mobile data. For those of us with larger local libraries, why pay to access the same data over and over when this can be stored on your device.

But if a choice to enable cloud data is an option for the developer, it would be nice for users with access to cheap data.

"like" ≠ "need"

If you don't like what FB2K has to offer, don't use it.  It's not as if you've paid for it.
