Google Drive Integration

Backup and Restore Features

MinteCalc offers the ability to back up and restore your App data using your own Google Drive account. Please note:

User Control: You have full control over your backups. Backup files are stored in your personal Google Drive account, not on our servers.

Authentication: Google Drive integration requires you to authenticate with your Google account. We do not store your Google account credentials.
