Fix the path to the backup folder

[hachikoharuno]

Hello. I encountered such a problem when I set up automatic backup to the cloud (via SAF), when the cloud application stops running (or davx with webdav attached), the copy path disappears. I did the same thing with the Authenticator Pro application, but at the same time the path to the cloud folder does not disappear, and accessing the folder will resume the application. Can you implement a fixed folder path?

I'm not sure what you mean - can you provide a screen recording?

I also used SAF provider with other applications such as devx5, round sync, webdav provider, koofr cloud and in the end the result is the same.

I also use another application - Authenticator Pro, where I have also configured automatic backup and if the application is stopped, it starts again when accessing the folder path on the cloud. You probably just need to force the path to be fixed and not check its availability before the backup. Although I certainly don’t know how technically everything should be.

Also, if you start pcloud again, the path to the backup will not be restored and you will have to select it again. Moreover, the application cannot run in the background all the time (although I have not tried the unlimited operation mode, but I would not like pcloud to work constantly).
