Is there a way to access the Google automatic backup service?
I notice there is a plugin for the iCloud, is there going to be one for Google Drive?
Failing that, has anybody used the REST API published by google to access Google Drive? I’m having trouble with the oauth stuff (And putting it together)
This is an Android 6.0 feature which Corona does not target… yet.
So, there is currently no way to do this via Corona Simulator builds until we officially target 6.0. Not even via a plugin.
But stay tuned! We’re actively working on 6.0 support now. 
Ahh right, Thanks for the update! Any ETA/Beta program?
No ETA yet. But expect to hear something in the next month or two.
Hopefully much sooner than that depending on how testing goes.
Thanks for the update! I’ll inform our customers of coming developments with regards to automatic backups
Just note that Google’s automatic backup feature is only supported on Android 6.0 and newer OS versions.
It won’t work on older Android OS versions.
Ok, thank you

Hi all. Dear Joshua, is there any way to backup files to google drive? I’m eeveloping an app target to iOS and Android. For iOS there is a solution due Corona support iCloud services, but i can’t find any solution to use Google Drive. There is any chance to do it? Thanks in advance and thanks for you all team great job
You could use a cloud services like Coronium or Parse(via your own sever).
But if you really want to use drive, you should go purchase the oauth2 plugin. You can get things done with it. You may have to mod the plugin a hair but I bet you can get things going with that.
What Scott has mentioned is probably the best solution.
We do plan on looking into Google’s backup feature in the future (no ETA yet), but realize that it’s an Android 6.0 feature only, which only has a small Android market share. So, a 3rd party solution would be the best solution for the moment.
Another thing to note, I some times forget about this, Amazon whisper sync could back up some data and sync across andoid and Amazon devices
Thanks very very much for your answer.
I’have bought the OAuth2 lua as suggested. Now I’m trying to configure it to access to Google Drive. It is a little confused.
If I can, I will try to contribute with a guide to do it. At the moment I’m a little lost. Need to read all the Google Drive Documentation. The only I need is to be able to send a file to google drive (Application Folder) and Get it when restore backup. The most complicated is the authorization and tokens.
If I can do it, I will let you know and publish the correct way. I have not found a simple documentation to do it and think it is necessary.
Thanks so much all for your excellent support and answers.
