Google Drive Integration

Howinibs provides an integration with Google Drive in order for all users to backup their data to Google Drive.

How to set up Google Drive Integration

In order to allow a Howinibs to upload backups to Google Drive, you need to authorize Howinibs to upload files to Google Drive. Google Drive Integration is set up with the following steps:

  • Create OAuth 2.0 Credentials via Google Settings.

  • In the Google Drive list, click on New. Enter the Backup folder name to save backups to Google Drive, the backup frequency and the email of the person to whom email is sent notifying the status of the backup and then save it. Now click on Authorize Drive Access to authorize Howinibs to push files to Google Drive.

  • Once Authorized, you can save your backup to Google Drive.

How to use Google Drive Integration

Uploading backup to Google Drive

  • Once Google Drive Integration is successful, you can upload the system backup as well as all your public and private files to Google Drive.

> Note: If the compressed backup size exceeds 1GB (Gigabyte), the system will upload the latest available backup to Google Drive instead of generating a new backup file.
