Currently the CloudStore module only supports iCloud on iOS and currently falls back to AsyncStorage on Android. This allows encrypted backup payloads such as private key seeds to be synced to Google Drive using Android's native backup feature. Unfortunately this backup option isn't really reliable since the schedule of the backup is not transparent to the app. Even worse if users don't use Android backups at all and they lose their phone, their photon backup will not be synced to the GDrive.
An alternative method would be to use the Google Drive api:
We could integrate this behind the same api in the CloudStore module so that backups are synced to the cloud using a common api on both iOS and Android:

There already seems to be a Google Drive react native module that wraps this functionality behind a JS api:
