Add Google Drive and Github Synchronization To Orgzly App.

Components

Orgzly app is a note taking app that allows users to create multiple notes, tasks and to do list at a time. You can likewise use it to schedule tasks, add tasks, set tags and priorities and set deadlines. Files in this app are stored in ORG format which is a plain-text system that is very effective and fast. Developers can use the orgzly app for authoring documents and project planning due to its multiple notes and tasks capabilities. Files created in org format can be synced to dropbox and imported from dropbox or local storage. Herein lies the issue, majority of the users regularly use google drive sync and might not like to have to create a dropbox account just to be able to use the app. I am a regular user of google and google drive. As a result, I would prefer to have google drive synchronization instead of creating a dropbox account just to be able to use dropbox sync. Developers and project managers might not want to use the app due to the limited synchronization features even though it has other features that are useful for them.

Proposal

So, I suggest that google drive synchronization should be added to the sync section of the app for much more convenient synchronizing process of users. Another suggestion is to include Github synchronization as this app is suitable for regular users and developers alike with its awesome feature of all plaintext system. Github supports Markdown which is a way of writing notes or documents in plain text. This makes it a useful repository that should be added to the orgzly android app. Users will be able to synchronize and retrieve their contents from github.

Mockups / Examples

Here is how the synchronization page currently looks with dropbox and local storage

Here's how the google drive and github sync is proposed to be added in the orgzly app

Benefits

Users will be able to easily retrieve their notes, schedules and to do lists from google drive and github easily and without the stress of relying on drop box only for synchronization. Users will also have many options to choose from during backup and retrieval process.
