Daniel,
Thanks for the instructions and the clarification that Google Storage for the plugin means “Google Cloud Storage” (only free until June 2013 and only for 1 project now – according to their website) and not the Google Drive storage that is now provided free automatically with signing up for gmail/youtube/etc. I realize the plugin is free so I don’t wish to be rude or demanding. I think having someone type a quick instruction on how to fill out the plugin sections would help a lot (and eliminate similar questions in the forum). Anyway, thanks for the response.
Thank you for clarifying the difference between Google CLOUD Storage (only free for one project for a limited storage and a paid service starting June 2013) and the Google Drive storage (free service with added functions) both allow for storage online. It was confusing and it is too bad there is no help for filling out this section of BackWPup that would have clarified the difference or instructed clearly how to use the Google Storage.
However, there is a post on the BackWPup forum where someone asks if Google Drive is supported and Daniel Huesken answers “GDrive is on the list ;)” that many would presume it was on the list of backup services supported (google storage) instead of “not supported but being considered”. I guess just another example of not clear communication.
But my criticism of no help / instructions for filling in the sections . . . true (and your reference to the general forum does not help since searching shows lots of problems with the plugin but no step-by-step of how to fill out the plugin for new persons – and the only relevant response to problems was “it works for me”).
No need to insult me with a reply (use of multiple !) I’ve chosen a different backup method since there are many (some with good instructions).
