It would be fine to be able to synchronize the AntennaPod using the own account space in Google Drive, as other apps have. I say this because the sync option is very useful, and Gpodder is not worling at all.
Can you please consider this possibility?
How are other cloud storage too? My guess is they all have same API to access from Android.
AntennaPod 3.4.0 will have automatic database exports to cloud storage (if the cloud storage provider supports the official Android API, which is unfortunately not the case for Google Drive). Actual synchronization is not possible with a simple file server because AntennaPod needs more complex requests on the server than just āgive me the entire databaseā
Does that mean I can import the database on another device to mimic a synchronization, at least manually?
Manually yes. But manual import/export is supported since many years already, there is nothing really new about it
@puigpuig This is a commonly asked question, by myself as well. This is what I saved to answer it in a previous discussion, and gives some insight into the issue.
Does this work with Dropbox?
When I try to use the new automstic backup feature, it lets me select a folder to back up to. How would I make it work so it is synced up to cloud automatically?
I lost my phone and the database once already and it was painful, would love to avoid it in the future.
Edit: as per Optional automatic daily database backup by ByteHamster Ā· Pull Request #6994 Ā· AntennaPod/AntennaPod Ā· GitHub it should work with Nextcloud, status of Dropbox is unknown.
However, how is it supposed to work? If I have Nextcloud app installed on phone, it would offer me to back it up there?
@felagund Do you have a Dropbox app installed on your phone? It works with Nextcloud because its app makes itself available as a file/folder selector, and so you can select a folder in your Nextcloud account. (Thereās nothing special on the side of AntennaPod for Nextcloud here.) Maybe Dropbox has similar functionality?
Dropbox does not seem to have it. But I can confirm it seems to work for Nextcloud (luckily I have access to one instance).
On Pixel 4a, Android 14, I do not see the hamburger setting to select my Google Drive when doing Automatic Backup. In the manual backup, I am able to select my Google Drive.
I am not at my laptop to look at the storage options in the code. I see that the original PR said G Drive is not supported by the storage framework
