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 something we’ve been investigating since the app’s inception and we continue to investigate constantly. Syncing is a very difficult problem to solve, especially in regards to handwritten notes which can be combined with images and text. I don’t have any kind of ETA for when syncing will be supported, but rest assured this is a high priority for us. We appreciate all your feedback on this idea.

Google Drive backup and restore work around:
1. I use Autosync Google Drive on my chromebook and Samsung Note 9
2. I use a HP Chromebook X2 all day at work with Squid
3. At the end of the work day, I do a local backup to a folder on my chromebook
4. Autosync Google Drive uploads my Squid database file to Google Drive
5. Autosync Google Drive downloads my Squid database file to my phone
6. I restore local backup for Squid using my phone
7. Make edits on phone. When I'm done using the phone Squid app, I do a local backup to a folder on my phone
8. Autosync Google Drive uploads my Squid database file to Google Drive
9. Autosync Google Drive downloads my Squid database file to my chromebook
10. I restore local backup for Squid using my chromebookThis is how I sync back and forth between my chromebook and my phone. I also use the Dropbox backup and restore feature sometime, but Autosync for Google Drive uploads and downloads in the background.

Metamoji Note allows auto sync between devices when using the Gold Service subscription. Their lack of active stylus support and cumbersome PDF export are what keeps me using Squid. I would pay Squid extra money for auto sync of notes.

I can manually sync between devices by using the settings backup and restore, but this is cumbersome and takes a little while because my Squid database file is 250 MB. If there was sync button when you first open the app (like someone previously suggested) and it only synced the notes that needed to be updated, that would be great. This could then evolve to auto sync.
