Android: Contacts Backup: Please let us choose where to store the vcf-file in Nextcloud

Created on 10 Jun 2019  Â·  13Comments  Â·  Source: nextcloud/android

My Nextcloud root directory is not writeable so the app fails to upload the contacts Backup. Please make the path for contacts Backup configurable!

I am running the latest Nextcloud 16.0.1.1 on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.
The Nextcloud App is on 3.7.0 RC2 on Android Pie if that is important.

Any update here?

Really this feature should probably be merged into a general solution for syncing arbitrary folders on the Android system (#285 et al). No reason contacts need special treatment.

@Friptick No I think this should be handled as a different issue than #285 et al, since for contacts backup you are not syncing a folder... The only change to the current way of backing up contacts would be that you could define a path.

Sure, changing the storage folder sounds nice.
However, I fear this is low on (my) priority list, but if someone submits a PR or wants to work on it, I am happy to help…
