Discord Storage

Utilize Discord servers as cloud storage! [This only works on python 3-3.6.x]

Tutorial

Setting up the bot/server

1) Creating the bot

In order for this program to work, you're going to need to create a discord bot so we can connect to the discord API. Go to this link to create a bot. Make sure to create a user bot and ensure the bot is private. Here's a picture to the configuration. Keep note of the token and the client ID.

2) Setting up the server

The bot will need a place to upload files. Create a new discord server, make sure no one else is on it unless you want them to access your files.

3) Adding your bot to the server

To add the bot to the server (assuming your bot isn't public), go to the following link: https://discordapp.com/oauth2/authorize?client_id={CLIENT_ID}&scope=bot&permissions=0 Replace {CLIENT_ID} with the client ID you copied earlier. Then, select the server you just made and authorize. Your server should now show your bot like this.

Setting up the program

1) Dependecies

Clone the repository and run pip install -r requirements.txt to install the dependencies for the program.

2) Configuration

Run python ds.py to begin configuration of the bot. When prompted, copy and paste your token from when you created your bot. For the channel ID, copy the channel ID with right click on the channel (developer mode must be enabled under appearance on Discord settings to have the option for Copy ID). Your configuration should look like this

You can delete config.discord to reconfigure the program.
