Google Drive

Back up characters, scenarios, memory books and packages to your own Google Drive.

Stores resource backups in your own Google Drive, under Voxta/Backups.

CostFree — it uses your own Drive quota.
HostingOnline.
RequiresA Voxta Cloud account to sign in.

Setup

Add Google Drive in Manage Services → + Add Services, then sign in with Google from the module's configuration.

Set a backup passphrase while you are there unless you specifically want unencrypted backups. Encryption defaults to AES-256-GCM, which does nothing without one.

Sign-in is brokered through Voxta Cloud, but your Drive token is not stored there and your backups do not pass through it — the upload goes from your machine to Google directly.

Voxta requests only the scope that lets it touch files it created. It cannot see the rest of your Drive.

Notes

  • Uploads have a ten-minute timeout, since a package carrying assets can be large and Drive over a slow link is not quick.
  • Deleting a backup from Drive by hand is fine; Voxta simply stops listing it.

A backup is only as recoverable as its passphrase. Store it somewhere other than the machine Voxta runs on.
