Support for google backup method

Open milindgoel15 opened this issue 2 years ago • 5 comments

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Local backup methods are good but when moving between devices or ROM, users have to copy and paste such local backup files. So can you add a Google backup option so all tokens get synced with Google and get restored when restoring on new devices?

Describe the solution you'd like Not sure how it will be done. Dont have much knowledge for integration of it.

Additional context n/a

Just read the FAQ and I think this probably won't be implemented.

So I wanna ask if the app supports auto backup? It is enabled by default but just in case if you disabled it.

This one basically: https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/data/autobackup

I don't have a problem with it. It's not the same as implementing first-party support for cloud services in the app. The reason it's currently disabled is that some data is kept in the Keystore and would cause things to break on restore.

It's totally feasible though, I'll look into what needs to be done to get it working.

I also hope to support webdav synchronization

If this gets implemented, I really hope a separate version without google stuff would be available. I'd rather have software on my device free and support free software, than have it support proprietary stuff.
