Google Drive

Google Drive is a file storage and synchronization service developed by Google. It allows users to store files on their servers, synchronize files across devices, and share files. JetBackup uses the Google Drive API to transfer backups to your Google Drive cloud storage.

To connect Google Drive to JetBackup:

Step 1: First make sure you have a Google account. To register an account, please click here.

Step 2: Open JetBackup for WordPress on your WordPress Admin Dashboard and Navigate to the Destination Section.

Step 3: Click “Create new destination” and select Google Drive in the dropdown menu.

Step 4: You will be asked to specify your Google Drive credentials:

• Name: Specify the name of your destination.
• Chunk Size: Adjust the default read/write chunk size. Smaller chunks are ideal for small files or slow connections, while larger chunks work best for big files on fast, stable networks.
• Free Disk Limit: Checks if the destination disk space reach the specified limit before it performs the backup.
• Backup Directory: Specify the directory on the remote server where backups will be stored.
• Access Code: This option allows you to generate a secure access token for the purpose of storing and retrieving snapshots that were uploaded from your server using JetBackup.
• HTTP Retries: Controls how many retries will be attempted if the destination returns an error for an HTTP call (upload / download / delete). [ default: 5 retries ]

Once completed, you will then redirected back to JetBackup and your Google Drive storage is now connected to JetBackup!
