Please note, @marcelocripe, that the part behind the + or ~ signs actually doesn’t belong to the package name. It will be automatically attached by the professional packaging tools once a packages is packaged the official way by a maintainer for apt distributing. This versioning identifiers are not part of the package name. I have no real understanding how these naming scheme works, it looks to me pretty arbitrary and its description I have studied seems to be confusing: Some packages follow completely different schemes than others with their numbering and the way the string is built, as you can see already in your above examples. I’ve stopped my attempts trying to apply it for the non official packages I create manually. If someone wants to know which version out of tree works for which antiX, he’ll have to look that up here in the forum anyway.
I find it irritating when anything antiX reads like it endorses a google drive, all things google have been from conception, some time before prism fully started a major part of the usa surveillance and domination mechanisms.
Well said, @Xunzi_23. But please consider they (google) are a reality in the current internet. Even the antiX forums in which we write here run on google services completely, see screenshot below:

Does antiX endorse google now? I don’t think so. antiX uses google, that’s a slight but important difference.
In the same way I do not endorse google. Personally I have moved long since to proton. And I don’t use this cloud feature myself at all. I just accept the fact that there are people around who have still these accounts and need to use and access them. The google drives are part of their email accounts they have there for many years already, so they may not be able to change them without losing the ability of being contacted by people knowing these addresses from somewhen in the past. Precisely for that reason I also keep my old accounts there, which I have for decades already, from the days when they were still considered the good ones (but no longer using them actively). Moreover:
From the contributing section of the outsourced package:
“Unfortunately this tool is restricted to google drives. If somebody happens to know such a tool for universal access of cloud services, please speak up in forums. Mandatory is, that the tool can upload individual files to the cloud space one by one (not by “syncing” directories), and that the upload process can be run completely by bash console commands.”
If you happen to know such a command line tool qualifying for integration, for one or more of your preferred cloud services, I won’t hesitate trying to implement it immediately. antiXscreenshot2 is designed and thought internally modular, and the plan was from the beginning to add some more modules for other services. Its just, there seem not to exist any tools which you can run by console commands and which allow immediate upload if single files to the drive, as needed here. Ideas (and support with the implementation into antixscreenshot2) welcome.
