Online sync

The Online Sync screen configures cloud backup and restore through Google Drive, Dropbox, or OneDrive. Open the app drawer, tap Settings, then Online Sync. Online sync is a premium feature.

What the screen does

• Choose backup provider — pick Google Drive, Dropbox, or OneDrive.
• Link backup — connect (or disconnect) your cloud account. A connection-status header shows which cloud account is linked, and silent cloud login runs at startup so a linked account reconnects without prompting.
• Online backup — push a backup to the cloud now.
• Online restore — list the backup files stored in the cloud and restore the one you want.
• Upload attachments — automatically upload transaction attachments to the cloud.
• Automatically sync data — keep data syncing on its own, without you thinking about it.
• Wi-Fi only — restrict syncing to Wi-Fi connections to save mobile data.

The app drawer also shows the cloud connection status, so you can see at a glance whether sync is live.

How it works

Sync is built around a cloud folder you control: whoever you share that folder with can enter expenses — that is the family-sharing model. Each provider is a separate integration (Google Drive REST API, Dropbox SDK, Microsoft OneDrive), and all three support the same operations, so switching providers does not change how sync behaves — only where the folder lives.

Health advice

Once your provider is linked, turn on automatic sync and attachment upload — backup then becomes invisible. Restore replaces local data with the selected backup, so read the file list before picking one. The online sync guide walks through setup step by step.
