Cloud save option

Post by Sephiroth_90 »

Hello, i Love this Game and playing IT @ Android.
Is it possible to integrate a cloud save option so that you can transfer your save status?

When you say integrate, I assume you mean with the game and that's not going to happen. You can however do this manually.
Use the export function built into the game and save your files in a directory that can be accessed by a file explorer app.
I use the DriveSync app to upload to my GoogleDrive.
I used to have this automatically performed before Google forced us to change the location of the save files to the location that they're currently at which is more secure and prevents file explorer apps from gaining access to it.

Sry,i didnt notice the answer .
I will try it.
I don't have a computer and it seems pretty complicated if you don't know much about it.
My phone won't last much longer and I don't want to lose my save status.
thanks for the reply.

We don't realize a cloud save option, because we don't want the game to have any internet access.
There exist enough apps with ads, tracking or even spyware, and we like to have Andor's Trail clear of such things.

No computer is necessary. I never mentioned the use of a computer.
In the game in the load option, there's the ability to export your saved files. Go there and export your saves to a directory on your phone that you can use a file explorer app to read. Then follow the interactions that I already posted

Alternatively, you could use an SD Card or USB-Stick with your phone's connection (Micro-USB or USB-C). With the game's export function, you can put your files onto this removable storage device and have them safe should your phone break.

OK, thanks, I managed it.
Yes, keeping the game clean is a good thing.
I'm just too used to there always being a cloud save function in games, sorry.
Thanks for the help.
