What Google Workspace Data Does CloudAlly Back Up?

CloudAlly backs up the following Google Workspace data:

• Mail
• Calendar
• Contacts
• Drive* and
• Tasks

NOTE: Since Google moved Photos to a separate service in 2019, CloudAlly no longer backs up the Google Photos folder on the Google Drive.

What does CloudAlly not back up?

• CloudAlly only backs up data where the user performing the backup is the owner of the files. If someone has shared a file with you, CloudAlly does not back it up. Why not?
  • Because then there would be multiple copies of the same file: the owner's version, and the people they shared it with.
  • Additionally, there would be duplicate charges for the twice-backed up data.
  • Finally, if the owner chose to remove sharing permissions, then they would not want you to have a backup copy of those files.
  • In summary, CloudAlly only backs up data belonging to the person performing the backup.
