Synchronizer-base for any backup provider

[hammer_ortiz]

Not working for google drive either

There’s a thread re the dropbox plugin and required versions of public_suffix. There is a fork, which is sadly now out of date with that requirement.

But even if that dependency is tweaked, it’s been broken since September, with the following showing up in the logs:

Job exception: uninitialized constant Jobs::SyncBackupsToDropbox::Backup Did you mean? BackupFile

For now these plugins seem to be abandoned

So what’s the May 2019 recommended way to backup Discourse on Dropbox, or another major free cloud storage provider?

Alas I just discovered that the Google Drive plugin not only doesn’t work, but it prevented a successful upgrade. I had to remove it to complete a ./launcher rebuild app.

@mcg

I just discovered that the Google Drive plugin […] doesn’t work

Probably because Google is currenly experiencing some issues with their online services?

Actually, no, it breaks on install: a gem version conflict.
