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).
This is not my experience. I happily copied the backup passphrase, and there’s a spot under settings > chats > chat backups > verify backup passphrase It allows pasting there.
Further, you can set signal to allow screenshots too, under privacy > screen security
Hope this helps
