Create a backup and export to Dropbox and Google Drive

It is important to regularly make backups, which can be stored outside of the device. For many users, it is convenient to automatically save backups to Dropbox and Google Drive. However, sometimes you may want more control over which backups are stored in this service.

Enable access to Dropbox or Google Drive

The first step is to make sure Proloquo4Text has access to your Dropbox or Google Drive account.

Go to Options .
Go to Backups.
Toggle Dropbox Integration and/or Google Drive Integration to ON. You will be redirected to Dropbox or Google Drive to confirm. Tap Allow.

In Dropbox, you can find backups in the “Apps/Proloquo4Text” folder.

In Google Drive, you can find backups in the “Proloquo4Text” folder.

Make a new backup (optional)

If you have just made changes that you want to save, you should first make a new backup. If you want to export an existing backup, skip over these steps.

Go to Options .
Go to Backups.
Tap either of the Back Up Now options near the top of the Backup section.

Choose and export your backup

Go to Options .
Go to Backups and tap Export Backups.
Find the file you want to export in the list of backup files. You may need to scroll down. When you find the file, tap it.
Select Export to Dropbox or Export to Google Drive
Wait for the progress bar to fill. A “Successfully Exported to Dropbox/Google Drive” message will appear. Tap OK.
