@terencepua As a long-time former user of Insync, this is a great pivot to stay relevant in 2022. However, I don't quite understand why it needs permission to edit and delete documents on Google Drive when it seems like read access is all it needs?

@terencepua Thanks. Also, how do I access email support? I need a receipt, but I never got a response for the email I sent to support@insynchq.com

Hello everyone! I’m Terence Pua and I’m one of the makers of Bobby! Thanks for hunting us, @Kevin! Bobby is a tray app that backs up all of your Google Docs to your desktop in one click. Most of our data lives in the cloud now and they are not protected. We created Bobby to help protect your cloud. While the cloud is reliable, it only takes one instance to ruin the thousands of hours of work you have put into your cloud data. You have data breaches, compromised logins, ransomware, viruses, and accidental (or intentional) deletions, just to name a few. Bobby is a tray app (Windows, Mac, soon: Linux) that converts and backs up all your Google Docs to your desktop or local storage (usb drive, network drive, etc.) in a usable format (pdf, docx, etc.). Here are the highlights of Bobby v1: 📝 Backup all your Google Docs to your local system 🔄 Conversion of Google Docs to .pdf, .docx, .xlsx, etc. 💾 Peripheral support (USB, external drive, NAS/network drive, etc.) 📚 Directory preservation 🔍 Preview of your backups 👬 Access to Shared drives and Shared with me In the future, we are adding support for Google Drive, Google Photos, Notion, Docusign and others! As a thank you for reading and your vote, use the 50% coupon code above for Bobby Plus. Thanks for trying Bobby and backup your cloud!

When I attempt to run after installing, I get a "connecting to Bobby" message, but no connection. Am I missing something?

@chris_brandlon Perhaps the UI did not show up automatically post connection. Did you try clicking the tray icon?

@vmharwani yeah, we wanted to simplify and personalize backup as it's a bit intimidating so we borrowed from the mobile experience by using on/off switch
