Android App - Import/Export Settings and Accounts

Would be useful to be able to export & import the app configurations & accounts so we can restore if needed or be able to move to a new device easier.

I think the most straightforward way to implement this would be to expose settings via an API. This would allow you to simply GET settings from one device and PUT them on another.

A more advanced approach could involve a multi-device cloud account system, where account-wide settings are applied to all devices by default, with the ability to override settings for specific devices. What do you think of this solution?

However, I'm unsure what you mean by "import & export accounts." In a multi-device setup, you would typically use credentials or an invite code to link a new device to an account. Allowing account linking via API without physical device access might not be secure enough.
