Overview

RemoteUpload is a lightweight, cross-platform (ESP32 & ESP8266) library for Arduino and PlatformIO that simplifies Over-The-Air (OTA) updates.

It handles two things simultaneously:

1. Local OTA: Allows you to upload code directly from the Arduino IDE or PlatformIO over your local WiFi.
2. Remote OTA via Google Drive: Automatically downloads and flashes .bin firmware files hosted on Google Drive.

Features

• 🚀 Dual Compatibility: Works out-of-the-box on both ESP8266 and ESP32.
• 🔗 Google Drive URL Parsing: Just paste the standard Google Drive "Share" link. The library automatically extracts the file ID and formats the direct download link.
• ⌨️ Serial Trigger: Built-in handleSerial() function lets you trigger remote updates by simply typing a word (e.g., "update") into the Serial Monitor.
