How do I enable Dropbox, Google Drive, or OneDrive backups?

To enable the various cloud backup options, sign up for a Productivity or Professional Plan, then:

  1. Select the Quick settings icon in the bottom left corner.
  2. Select Open Preferences.
  3. Select Backups from the left-hand side, and scroll down to the Cloud Backups section.
  4. Select Enable on the backup provider you wish to use.
  5. Follow the prompts for the cloud provider.

Cloud backups are performed daily at approximately midnight Central Standard Time (CST is 6 hours behind Coordinated Universal Time (UTC)).

Backups are organized as calendar folders:

2019/
├── February/
│   ├── February 15 2019.txt
│   ├── February 16 2019.txt
│   ├── February 17 2019.txt

You can decrypt a backup file using the offline instructions.
