Comment 9 for bug 1643732

Hi Alberto, thanks for the quick reply!

The user shouldn't see storage framework when they authorize things in Online Accounts. The user doesn't even know what a storage service is. Besides, storage framework will be used for lots more things than just synchronisation. Eventually, for each individual application, the user will be able to decide whether or not to use some cloud provider for that application.

For example, I might decide to have the camera app store photos on Dropbox, but have the music app use music in both Dropbox and Google Drive.

What we *do* need to do is present the list of available storage providers to the user, so we can create a selection dialog for the user to decide which accounts(s) to store photos in, music in, etc.

We really need this list, and we really need to get at the dbus name, icon name, and translated provider name, otherwise we can't present the list to the user, and we don't know what dbus name to connect to.

Again, I don't see why the Accounts API provides me with the list of all available accounts, but won't let me know these three things about each account (while letting me know other things).
