Cloud Save to Google Drive
The Famalth ONE App allows you to back up your critical emergency data securely to your private Google Drive account.
By enabling Cloud Backup, you ensure that your emergency contacts, health information, and app settings are never lost — even if your device is damaged, lost, or replaced.
Overview
With Google Drive Backup enabled, you can:
- Protect your emergency configurations automatically.
- Restore your data instantly when reinstalling or changing devices.
- Switch between multiple Google accounts easily.
- Maintain full ownership of your cloud-stored data.
- Minimize downtime after device loss or resets.
Only emergency-specific information is uploaded — no personal messages, photos, or unrelated data are stored.
