Well I have had a very strange experience with cloud backup. One day after going from trial to paid my cloud backup completely stopped working. I contacted support, waited a year, they got back basically saying they will look into it. I couldn't wait another year, so I started fiddling around. Tried deleting some of the very large files, still crashes after a while. Changed the name of the file it saves to. Still crashes. Tried a faster internet connection. Nothing. I can create a backup locally and export to dropbox but I still cannot export, until this morning. I noticed that I still had the old folder with the default name in my dropbox account. So I changed the file squid saves to back to default and by magic it works. I have no idea why or what error their is in the program but I thought this might help someone else out.

I think we should put in a feature request for this because clearly this "idea" is being ignored

I have a free account of the Box cloud service, and I use squid backup to it. As my squid notes grow bigger, I can't backup my notes to cloud because the limitation of file size upto 250MB for free user.
Would you please handle my problem?

Thank you.

Update the PDF export so that only notes with unsynced changes are exported. Right now, exporting to PDF exports all notes even if they haven't been touched in months, and this means that exporting takes longer and longer as time progresses and my library becomes larger.

Please give us backup option for individual note so that it can be edited later...

+1, the more you use this app, the more problematic this aspect becomes

It would be really awesome if you could change your backup logic a tiny bit, that you only upload PDF files to the cloud, which were changed since the last completed backup. Every day Squid syncs more than 150 notes to Dropbox although just a couple of them were changed. Especially, if you need to sync your files pretty fast, its really annoying that you need to wait for more than 15 minutes until all files are uploaded and you can see from your desktop that 2 years old files are reuploaded again and again.

Thanks in advance ;)

I think the cloud backup saves each file each time the backup runs - whether it's been modified or not. This takes significant time when you have 100+ annotated PDF notes. Could backup be configured to only write changed notes to cloud storage?

Please give us individual note backup like SAMSUNG SNOTE

Able to choose to restore individual page or note or the entire backup.

The current restore method is using the second method described above, doing that will overwrite my existing nite as well.

Thank you !

I'm using papyrus to keep my memos and lecture notes, and I purchased the Cloud service plugin for the convenience of backup. However, as notes are accumulated, it takes huge time to upload all of them. The problem is that it uploads already existed notes again and again. Hence, it would be much much better if it checks only newly added notes to upload. It even takes huge amounts of CPU when uploading, so I always turn WIFI off when I'm writing something. (This is another problem; that I cannot adjust when the upload starts.)

For me, backup is completely and utterly broken. My last succesful run was last year. I've entered into email conversation with the development team who concluded that it was broken and there is no plan to fix it.

The people, who are having problems with this are the people who use it a lot.

We're the people who love it and advocate it. I've lost count of the people and organisations who use Papyrus because recommended it.

Please don't reward us by having paid-for services that don't work.

It would be nice if there were a way to backup retrieve individual notes/notebooks

Always i must click 4 times, because auto sync all 6 hours - too long !! A minute option for auto sync will be great !!! Much better: Auto Sync when you leave the notice, so all is save in cloud whitout thinking anything - just like in the app "Notizen" !!!
So i will purchase all premium features !!!!

And allow scheduling of uploads. I'm always in class at college needing to use my tablet or need to use the internet and it slows things down.

This can be easily done using the rsync tool available under *nix environments. Maybe, its code can be reused into papyrus for android.

This feature really really I need!

I totally agree with this comment. I have even suggested similar issues with backup improvements. Right now I would love to get this application to 25,000 people in our organization, but it is not ready and I would look stupid for suggesting it. But it is headed there so that maybe in 6 months or a year many organizations could pick up an application like this for all the tablets that are starting to be distributed in the work forces. And I can help make that happen for you.

of course, I agree with all the above. I also posted an idea similar to this, but I suggested that you allow people a certain backup schedule that has the time frame that you want to back up like say do it on a daily basis, do it at a time, do it weekly, etc. That is the schedule. Then I would want a formatted nomenclature to allow me to notate when the PDF is changed in the particular notebook, say if you will show each separate PDF that has changed with with out a notebook, maybe even have that option. But, the format of nomenclature is where I can monkey around with something like date, month, year, hour, AM PM, some name, whatever else. Let me give you an example what I do with other things. I will private and not dictate...

David daily PDF changes -- note 3 -- 2015 -01- 15 @12.01am.pdf

that is how I do everything else in my life but the extension has changed. It might be WinZip or whatever, but that is how I track thing in my life. So, I agree with everyone else that that this is a feature that is very lacking for people that really want to use your application. Thank you for listening., David Fullerton

I would suggest that you allow the user to be able to the time frame as to when their notes will be back up. and I would like the ability to back up to my network server or to a directory on the tablet with a particular time frame that I set. Also, I also would save my single singlePDF that has every single change to the same as I just described, but I wish that you would create and save saving formatted nomenclature so bad I can say every single PDF that I change will be back up either on my network, in a local directory, or in the cloud with the following options, such as PDF change -- 2015 - 01 - 15 - 12. 01 a.m. On Galaxy Note 3 .pdf as the file name. Then I can track it so much easier and see every single PDF that I changed during the day because I would love to use your application for grocery list, to do list, everything. But it is not there and able for me to do it personally and/or to suggest it to management for other people to put it on to their purchased 25,000 member organization.
