After export, you can keep the file on your device, share it, or transfer it to another destination using your preferred apps and services.

The app supports both manual exports and optional scheduled backups.

With scheduled backup, you control:

• enable or disable anytime
• frequency and timing
• Wi-Fi only option

Optional Google Drive upload uses your own account and uploads only the exported file you choose to create.
