Fsspec based Cloud Import

The Cloud Import plugin is a bit limited at this stage, and adding providers to it is not straight forward.

I suggest rebuilding it around fsspec which is a standard interface for files with quite a lot of providers available already

For eg:

  • Amazon S3
  • Azure Blob Storage
  • Google Cloud Storage
  • Github
  • Dropbox
  • FTP
  • SSH

For the full list of providers:
https://filesystem-spec.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#built-in-implementations
https://filesystem-spec.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#other-known-implementations

I think this would provide a much stronger basis for cloud import capability in webodm

Welcome!

Sounds like a great project.

Would you be able to help us implement this?
