Cloud folder location #28

For dropbox it's using scoped folder, basically means you don't have permission and ability to choose other folder. Google drive do have ability to select a folder by name, and the reason is that implementing full interfaces for file/folder list and creation are really not worth it, given that you can do it in browser. |

Not sure what you mean by the ability to move the folder in Google Drive
with the browser. Yes, I can move the Financisto folder created, but
when Financisto backs up again, it recreates the folder in the root
drive of Drive...

If you renamed the backup folder, be sure to change the When looking for the folder in Google Drive, it only queries with folder name, and don't consider what its parents is (i.e. it doesn't matter where it is in the tree). Therefore you actually can move the backup folder under other folders and it will still work, as long as your drive only have one folder with the name you specified in preferences. If there are multiple, it will use the first one. For example, if you configured If you are testing after move, you can try with |

Thank you so much for your always quick reply! After quite a while of
work I finally got it to work like you mentioned... I had to move some
stuff around so the Financisto folder I wanted to use would take the
file... I also have some stuff backed up to Drive and the folder
structure had to be modified so it would find the folder I wanted to use
first instead of another that is a backup of the original.

If you renamed the backup folder, be sure to change the Backup Folder
in preferences, and new backups / restoring file list should refer to
the folder.
When looking for the folder in Google Drive, it only queries with
folder name, and don't consider what its parents is (i.e. it doesn't
matter where it is in the tree). Therefore you actually can move the
backup folder under other folders and it will still work, as long as
your drive only have one folder with the name you specified in
preferences. If there are multiple, it will use the first one.
For example, if you configured Backup Folder as MyFinancisto, and make
a tree like Others\Backups\MyFinancisto in Google Drive, it will use
that folder.

It would be great to be able to choose an existing folder from Dropbox or Drive or a dialogue allowing the creation and location of the Financisto folder
