Cloud backups

XNote, Timecrate and Norvi Vault connect directly to cloud storage chosen by their operator. Google Drive access is optional and requires consent in your Google account.

XNote

XNote keeps desktop notes locally and can upload encrypted recovery kits to Google Drive or Dropbox. Recovery downloads a kit and decrypts it locally with your recovery material. Explore XNote.

Timecrate

Timecrate creates backups for restoring a computer or selected data. A configured cloud destination stores backup archives and the metadata needed to verify and recover them.

Norvi Vault

Norvi Vault provides operator-configured access to cloud files and offsite backups. An rclone crypt destination encrypts file contents and names before they reach the underlying provider. Keep the crypt password and recovery material separately.

Your cloud connection

Separate Google Cloud projects and OAuth clients allow each tool to use its own project quota. The Google consent screen identifies the access requested. A connection with full Drive permission can access your Drive beyond the configured backup folder; that folder is an application setting, not a Google-enforced access boundary.

Read the backup privacy policy before connecting an account. You can revoke a connection in your Google account.
