v5.0.5_Beta2 Announcement This update removes support for Shared drives in Google Drive for cloud backups. Due to changes in Google’s policy, the ‘drive’ scope, which allows access to Shared drives, now requires an annual CASA Tier 3 security assessment. This assessment costs at least $4,500 per year, which is not feasible for a solo developer. Read the full announcement here. Changes - WiFi: Fixed an issue introduced in previous beta affecting cloud backups for WiFi networks - Cloud: Fixed the OneDrive upload issue faced by some users - Cloud: Downloads of backup files are now resumable with some common errors across all cloud services except Mega & FTP - Cloud: Multithreaded Downloads settings are now available under Settings > Cloud backups - Cloud: Parallel Uploads/Downloads setting is now available under Settings > Cloud backups - Added an experimental setting to disable free disk space checks during backup/restore. This feature is useful for users with systems that report incorrect disk space. - Other fixes Download: https://t.me/swiftbackupupdates/186

Announcement regarding Google Drive’s Shared drives support in Swift Backup Hello Swift Backup users, Due to recent changes in Google’s policy, the ‘drive’ scope, which allows access to shared drives, now requires an annual CASA Tier 3 security assessment. This assessment costs at least $4,500 each year, which is not feasible for me as an individual developer. Starting with the next update, the ‘drive’ scope will be removed from Swift Backup. This means you will no longer be able to back up to shared drives on Google Drive. Regular backups to your personal Google Drive will continue to work as usual. If you have existing backups on shared drives, please use the current version of the app to restore them before updating to the new version. In case you’re seeing any warnings or notifications from Google, go to Swift Backup settings > Cloud backups > Google Drive access mode, and set the access mode to normal. Disconnect & Re-connect Google Drive in the app. Thank you for your understanding.

v5.0.5_Beta1 Android 15 Compatibility Swift Backup now targets Android 15 and is compatible with the latest Android 15 beta releases. Multithreaded Downloads - Introduced experimental multithreaded downloads for Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox, Box, pCloud, S3, WebDAV services, and Yandex. - This should improve download speeds with cloud services that throttle downloads from third-party apps. - Activate via Settings > Swift Labs > Multithreaded Downloads. Other changes - Apps: Support for backup/restore of shared app libraries (e.g., Trichrome library for Google Chrome builds). - Apps: Possible workaround for Xiaomi HyperOS app list retrieval. - Apps: Backup/restore 'Pause app activity if unused' permission. - Cloud: Resolved issue with renaming files >5GB on Amazon S3 storage. - Cloud: Added upload chunk size settings for S3 (accessible in Settings > Cloud backups). - Cloud: Restricted maximum Dropbox upload chunk size setting to 150MB (as per Dropbox limitations). - Other bug fixes and UI refinements. Known Issue: OneDrive Uploads Some OneDrive users may experience upload failures with '401 Unauthorized / Forbidden' errors. This is a Microsoft-side issue currently under investigation. There is no immediate workaround available. Users can track the issue on Microsoft's GitHub repository and support forum: - GitHub Issue - Microsoft Support Forum Download: https://t.me/swiftbackupupdates/183
