Ideas for Signal Android Automatic Cloud Backups?
Ideas for Signal Android Automatic Cloud Backups?
I'm aware of how to set up chat backups on Android, but this only makes local backups that you have to manually upload or copy.
I'm trying to find a solution where I can set and forget backups to the cloud.
My requirements are:
- It doesn't require me exposing the rest of my file system/cloud storage to a third party app without scoping (filesync works, but doesn't meet this criteria).
- It can upload directly to a cloud service
So far, no dice :/
Is there some workaround?
P.S. my potential solution is move Signal to my Shelter Work profile, where I do have filesync installed, but then I won't have contacts access, which is a slight pain (and because I don't want to create contacts in my work profile).

I have it scheduled to sync the signal folder an hour after signal makes it's backup. My personal setup is a crypt vault (so I control the encryption key) wrapping a B2 vault, but you can use any cloud provider that rclone supports.
I couldn't seem to get it connect to google drive (tried on my work profile, tried the various apks available. Made sure Google Drive was also installed in the work profile)
Also, it asks for complete local phone folder access. Really wish services like this would allow you provide access to certain folders, since this option has existed in Android for quite some time.
Thanks for the suggestion though!
Never tested with gdrive but in Graphene I use storage scopes instead of full drive access.
Unfortunately I do not have Graphene :/ thanks for your reply though!
