Online sync
Cloud backup and restore through Google Drive, Dropbox, or OneDrive — manual or automatic, with attachment upload, family sharing, and Wi-Fi-only 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.
