Changing output folder / automatic backups #105

Open RolfSievert opened 8 months ago

Hi! Just a small feature request here.

Really enjoy the app. I just miss some easy way to backup my recordings automatically. Being able to change the default location of where recordings are stored would enable me to, for example, backup recordings in my main Syncthing folder.

Hi, do you know if this is resolved or did you find a workaround? The app is great but since Android update, I cannot backup from the storage location "to protect my privacy". It's a big issue really. Appreciate if you could let me know if you found a solution. Thanks

There is no plans to add feature where user can choose recording directory. Newer versions of Android added restrictions on ability to interact with device file system. I don't see any simple solution how to implement the feature. So all records are stored in app's private dir. Anyway, all record files available for user to download from app's private dir to a public dir.

If there is a solution how this feature can be implemented, please share with me.

I want to add "Backup" feature where user can download all recorded files into 'Downloads' directory. In 'Downloads' all files are public in file system.

@sumade123 sadly I have no workaround. I'm just copying the files to a backup-ed folder manually.

Maybe this can be closed, since this request has been done on #112, #105, #95, #76 and originally in #67.

37 is linked to it as well, but was more asking about the ability to create multiple folders.
