More Cloud Backup providers?

Is there anything on the roadmap to have additional Cloud Backup providers instead of just Dropbox and Google Drive? Perhaps OneDrive or SharePoint as well?

Thanks for your feature request, @zacatero. No immediate plans for additional providers, but I appreciate you starting this to track requests.

If anyone reading has a particular provider they care about most, feel free to leave a comment here.

Hey @nickc, please add Nextcloud, it’s a privacy-focused, open-source & self-hosted file service, made in EU (Germany). Would be even cooler to have this provider feature enabled within the Local Desktop via an official Extension or a just a Custom Path Setting. I know “Export” function exists but a local backup workflow would be superb :heart_eyes:

Three ideas 1) You could let users connect to Nextcloud via WebDAV and then enable the backups 2) via OAuth2/tokens: OAuth2 — Nextcloud latest Administration Manual latest documentation 3) Or the more universal, local-first approach (Desktop App): let the user choose a custom folder on their file system. This would immediately enable backups with sync services like Nextcloud and OneDrive, or even external/network harddrives like NAS storage (Synology, Ugreen) :smiling_face_with_sunglasses: :raising_hands:

For example I installed “Nextcloud Sync” as a Cask via Homebrew (macOS) and now it’s basically natively integrated like iCloud or oneDrive. Example path for backup folder in the Extension Settings could be something like » \Users\<CurrentUserName>\Nextcloud\<CustomWPBackupFolder>

EDIT: Just saw another thread where you already explained that you are planning to rethink backup workflows. So a +1 from me. Hope this post inspires :face_savoring_food: Cheers!
