[Request] Change location of Backups

[MiguelNdeCarvalho]

Hey,

It would be really handy to be able to change the location where the backups are being done. My idea is to make automatic backups to my nextcloud folder!

Thanks, MiguelNdeCarvalho

It would! If you find a solution let us know, we have been trying for a long time ;)

Hey @davidhealey,

I have created the issue because I didn't see any with this subject, I would be very happy to help with the code, but I don't understand anything about the cordova framework.

Thanks, MiguelNdeCarvalho

@MiguelNdeCarvalho Where is your nextcloud folder located? In my experience, the app can only write to certain shared storage locations.

[MiguelNdeCarvalho]

Thanks @davidhealey, @EmilJunker it is located in /storage/emulated/0/Android/media/com.nextcloud.client

/storage/emulated/0/Android/media/com.nextcloud.client

This isn't going to work, unfortunately. Waistline cannot write to the media directory of a different app.

If you use the android file save as dialog, nextcloud destination is showed in the storages section.

android file save as dialog,

Waistline is a Cordova app, not an Android app.
