Tachiyomi: Sync Between Devices using Gdrive/Dropbox Backup

[alonjacovi]

I'd love to have a feature that makes it possible to carry the same library with read/unread status and categories among different devices. This would theoretically involve saving the Json backup to a connected Dropbox or Google Drive account for every change, as well as restore from the Json backup for every sync (when pressing the sync button or during the configured periodic syncs). Presumably the Json will be saved to the root of the Dropbox/Gdrive so there won't be any consistency issues.

Conflicts where both the backup and local states were changed before a sync/restore can be solved by prompting the user to choose the local or cloud state

Although all of them were closed for requesting MAL Sync and were told that if sync ever happens, it'd be something like GDrive, maybe one issue should stay open for users to find and subscribe to.

I second the feature request!
Doesn't need anything Fancy, since we already have automatic local backups. Just upload the latest with a common filename, and save the timestamp. The periodically check for changes in the uploaded files timestamp and in case it differs, download and restore.

Tha restoration could also be down only during the app launch, or when it searches for manga updates.

If anything goes wrong we have the local backups (set it to keep the latest X files for assurance).

I hope this is a given, but just to make sure, support for non-3rd party cloud solutions (owncloud/nextcloud/etc) should be on this list, as well.

@mishugashu well I dont think that this is still needed, cause 1146 will be much better.

Have someone tried/begun to implement this? This feature would truly be awesome to have!

Is there any progress for this feature implantation?
I would love to see this feature. Few days ago my device bricked and I lost all data including Tachiyomi Backups, I had to spend hours to organize everything again. If it had cloud backup this could be a different story.

There are third party apps on Play Store such as Autosync for Google Drive, you can use that to sync your backup folder in the meantime.
