Backup to Shared Google Drives

    We have been happily using Total Upkeep Backup to backup our organization’s site to my Google Drive, which is part of my organization’s GSuite.

    Our organization also has created shared Google drives, each with appropriate access by different folks. We would like to store our backups on one of these Shared Drives, rather than in my personal Drive.

    When I authenticate my Gdrive access, I can use a different user account, but no logon will point directly to a shared drive. And when I go to Total Upkeep | Settings | Backup Storage | Google Drive | Configure, I am only given the option to specify a folder in my own drive, NOT in the Shared drives to which I have access.

    Is there a workaround for this? Thanks very much!

    Hi @davidhyman415, thanks for posting your question!

    I took a moment to create a video to respond to your question about Shared Drives, I hope you have a moment to watch it – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PR3mgUjhIBQ

    The answer to your question is that at first glance, it looks like something we can add support for, relatively easily, to the plugin. I’ve created a GitHub issue and I think we can get to it within 2 weeks or so. https://github.com/BoldGrid/boldgrid-backup/issues/247

    Thanks again!

    Hi guys,

    Just wondering if you’ve had a chance to update your plugin with Google Shared Drive functionality? I’ll be signing up for the plugin immediately if so!

    Thanks.

    Hi @digger675, thanks for taking a moment to reach out to us! I actually just finished up an unrelated projects I’ve been working on, and I have some time to focus on other things now. This seems to be one of our highly requested features, so I’m going to get started on it later today. It may take a few days, but I’ll respond here soon with more info.

    Thanks!

    You’ve got 24 hours. Go!
    (Just jokes. Thanks for the quick reply. Look forward to hearing more so I finally have a backup solution to Shared Google Drive).

    Hi @davidhyman415 and @digger675 – We just released Total Upkeep Premium 1.4.0, which allows you to use Shared Google Drives. The update also allows you to choose any folder to upload backups to.

    I created a 4 minute video walking through the new version. If you have a moment to watch, you can find it here – https://youtu.be/-K2CpqsgtJ8

    Thanks again!

    Thanks Brad, much appreciated. Will purchase shortly.
