Sync with Google Drive / Nextcloud etc for automatic backup #685

Hello!

Thank you for this amazing app and your great work! <3

I'd like to suggest a feature: It would be nice if there was automatic database backup to Google Drive (or another online storage service) and maybe sync for access from multiple devices.

Hello,

Thanks for the nice words and your suggestion.

Implementing sync from inside the app is quite tricky on multiple levels. The main issues are ensuring compatibility with the current storage solution which works fully online and making sure your data is secure (would need some kind of encryption).

Because this is a very large undertaking, this is not planned anytime soon. I am considering an option where you can change the location where your data is stored, meaning that in theory you could select that folder to be synced using a cloud solution, but then it would be under your responsibility entirely what you do with that.

Thanks for your understanding.
