useIsCloudAvailable

The useIsCloudAvailable hook listens to changes in the availability of the cloud storage. For iCloud, it listens to native system events that notify you once iCloud becomes available or unavailable. The iCloud storage might become unavailable when, for example, the user logs out of iCloud. On Google Drive, this hook simply listens to changes of the access token set via setProviderOptions() and returns true if an access token is set, false otherwise.

This is helpful when you want to read from the cloud storage on app launch, as reading from iCloud without waiting for the storage to be available will block the main thread.

import { useIsCloudAvailable } from 'react-native-cloud-storage';
