Android Question Ability for App to backup a file to user's cloud storage (and then retrieve at a later date)

[Azhar]

Hi All,

What is the easiest method now for a user to backup a settings text file to their cloud storage of choice and then retrieve it back if they upgrade their phone etc?
Something really simple... that doesn't cost the user?

Thanks,

Azhar

You can upload the file to your server and even download from there

Or you use Dropbox and let the use upload/download from his Dropbox.

Ok. Would the Dropbox wrapper be easier to configure than Cloudrail? I'm not sure if Cloudrail is still supported as the thread I read was several years' old.

Thanks
