Clipboard conservation.
Synchronization with the personal user Cloud storage service account (supports OneDrive and DropBox).
User's data is encrypted. The user can also decide to ignore all copied data from a specific application.
Full integration to Windows 10.

Requirements to run ClipboardZanager

Windows 10 (10240 or later) edition Home, Pro, Education, Entreprise, S.

Setup a development environment

Requirements

For Windows

You will need the following tools :

Windows 10
.Net 4.6
Visual Studio 2017 with Windows development and Visual Studio extension development toolset
AutoRunCustomTool extension (that you can find in repository/Tools/AutoRunCustomTool.vsix)

For Android

You will need the following tools :

Java 8
Android Studio
Android SDK to support version 21 to 25

For iOS

Well, I need to start the project at least.

Versioning & Passwords

Versioning

The application version use the following pattern :

year.month.day.buildCountInTheDay

Each time that the Windows Desktop app is built (with Visual Studio), the desktop and Android version number are updated. The Android app is not built by Visual Studio. The version number is updated but the project still need to be built from Android Studio.

Passwords & AppKey

The user's data is encrypted with a private key. This key is generated thanks to the private OneDrive appkey, DropBox appkey, and assembly version number (that changes at each build).

Build the project

Before building the project, you will need a OneDrive appkey and DropBox appkey to be able to generate correctly the private keys used by ClipboardZanager to encrypt data. You will need to :

Create an application on the OneDrive developers portal with the following permissions :
- Files.ReadWrite.AppFolder
- User.Read
Create an application on the DropBox developers portal with the following permissions :
- AppFolder

Once done, you will have to rename the passwords-sample.txt file to passwords.txt and complete it with the appkey and redirection URI provided by OneDrive and DropBox.

In general, the security process can be improved and simplified.

Once done, open the solution in Visual Studio and build the solution. The private keys will be updated in the Windows Desktop project and Android project at the following locations :

For the Windows Desktop app : ClipboardZanager\Sources\ClipboardZanager\Properties\Passwords.cs
For the Android app : Android\app\src\main\res\values\passwords.xml

Those two files and passwords.txt are git ignored. You can then open Android Studio and build the smartphone app.
