Add Google Drive as a Cloud Option
Support for Google Drive storage via cloud services.

shared this idea
We currently support creating and restoring backups to/from Google Drive via the local backup settings: http://feedback.squidnotes.com/knowledgebase/articles/1185616
I understand that this does not meet everyone’s needs. Adding support for Google Drive to the automatic backup options is something we continue to investigate.
I recently wrote an open letter to Cloud Storage providers on this subject: https://medium.com/steadfast-innovation/open-letter-to-cloud-storage-apps-on-android-a2d0eb919fc4
Please encourage your favorite cloud storage provider (i.e. Google Drive) to fully support the Android Storage Access Framework (as stated in the above letter). This will not only help us to better support backup and restore to ANY cloud app, but will help the ecosystem as a whole.

This is a much needed feature, and considering the fact that this app subscription costs more than any other Android note taking app of similar functionality or the hugely popular iPad Notability, I am really surprised it hasn't been implemented. Come on guys..

I need squid to synchronise with google drive ! Thank you ! Nebo is perfect for the synchronisation, you should do the same.

Others like MyScript Nebo are already doing this. Not sure why Squid Notes can't implement this.

I would love to see Google drive added as a cloud storage provider. Dropbox is okay, but if Squid is intended to be tightly integrated with Google why wouldn't it be the default cloud storage provider? Thanks!!

For the past 2 years I've been installing and uninstalling squid because it doesn't work with Google drive. Every other app on the planet does. This is your company. Make it good. Then maybe you can be great.

Andrew, Here we are in July 2019 -- why not SIMPLY allow an automatically scheduled "back up local folder" option? Using the "date" as part of the back up name. We users can manage that while you figure out how to work to deliver this necessary business functtionality.

Is there an update on this? Looks like SAF is available for Google Drive

This would be a 5+star app if it auto synced with g drive. Then I could easily access across platforms. I love squid on my Chromebook and have all my notes there but would love to have access through my phone or work computer. Please add this! I too purchased premium expecting this... And would pay again to have it!

I'd love to see this as well. I'm just using Dropbox for squid only, everything else is on Drive...

Particularly this: https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/providers/document-provider
Seems to imply that Google Drive on Android now supports Android SAF.
If so, then how soon can we get support for automatic backup? -

Google Drive appears to be supported by the Android Storage Access Framework as per https://www.techotopia.com/index.php/Accessing_Cloud_Storage_using_the_Android_Storage_Access_Framework

This is very much needed as I only have a Dropbox account got this app while the rest of my school docs are on my Google drive. It's very annoying 😭

Auto sync and google drive as an option are definitely needed!

I similarly would prefer Google Drive syncing integration to allow for the creation of backups for my notes.

I sincerely hope that the developers deliver this feature soon. Squid being available as an android app should mean that it is fully capable of delivering to an android-based user base. Automatic sync to Google Drive is expected. I'm enjoying this app so far. I don't want a reason to find another that fulfills basic needs.
