Hi Devon, glad you like the app! Was super uncanny to see that thread of yours about similar needs when I launched it.
Unfortunately, afaik, the gdrive “app specific data” scope doesn’t allow the files to be visible for end users (https://developers.google.com/drive/api/v2/api-specific-auth?hl=en#identify_whether_to_use_a_restricted_scope). I can only upload to the user’s visible file system if I get full access to their drive, which isn’t ideal.
Fortunately, all your data is easily accessible in the iOS file system, including/especially the sqlite database. You can zip everything straight from the Files app, and I think iCloud is backing up a bit. There might be a way to do this with shortcuts too?
I might add Dropbox support eventually as a stopgap for #8. They do provide app restricted user navigable scope.
Ahhh that makes sense. Having the sqlite db in iCloud might actually be better for my purposes, so I'm actually glad to hear that!

This would be amazing!
Two ideas that you can of course take or leave:
I also want to sync it to Logseq. A different solution would be auto-export to markdown, since I'd prefer to not have to export manually each time.
This is an amazing app, and so glad I discovered it. <3
I made an issue #65 but I probably won't get to it anytime soon - lmk if you wanna add the feature & I can give codebase pointers
I've been trying to find the backup file in Drive so that I can do some other fun stuff with the data, but haven't been able to figure out what the file is called. According to the code (below) I expected it to be something like
voice_outliner-TIMESTAMP.zip
but didn't see a file with that name anywhere in my Drive.https://github.com/maxkrieger/voiceliner/blob/bbc7832af7a1dcc048796eb79d250f6bcd5ac894/lib/repositories/drive_backup.dart#L104-L113
From playing around with it, my backup does seem to be working, so it seems to be creating a file somewhere. I just can't figure out what the file is called!
P.S. Thank you for making VoiceLiner! I've been wanting exactly this tool for ages.
