  • Hey, I was wondering why we can't access the files that Aternos stores on my Google Drive. I feel like if you are going to store information on my drive I should be able to access that. Why do you hide that data?

    Backups are saved in a hidden folder for application data, which allows us to store backups in your Google Drive account without having access to any of your other files. You can read more about the application data folder here: https://developers.google.com/drive/api/v3/appdata.


    It is also a security measurement since having direct access to backup files would allow you to insert custom mods/plugins.
