Backup not working (Google Docs)

[Alex Hortopan]

Backup doesn't work.

Financisto fails to send the file to Google Docs.

I'm on a HTC Desire (Android 2.2) (tested on wifi and 3g)

Did you insert login, pass and folder in preferences?
What kind of error occurs? We need more details to verify what happens...

[Alex Hortopan (alex-hortopan)]

Inserted login, password, double checked that.

folder on google docs is "financisto" -> entered financisto in the application.

Error message is : "Error sending backup file to Google Docs. Please try again" (appears after ~1-2 minutes on "backing up database").

It seems that Financisto authentication to google docs works (or some parts) as I tried entering wrong user/pass and the app returns login error.

Had same problem,

to fix it, try to create a new folder in google docs with a simple name (I called it "1" to test)
then input the name in "folder name" in Financisto preference.

worked for me :)

[hayim (hayim)]

well, rechecked it, the file created in google docs is not really usable and I guess it's only good for buckup

looks like this:

"...
PACKAGE:ru.orangesoftware.financisto
VERSION_CODE:
VERSION_NAME:1.4.0
DATABASE_VERSION:
#START
$ENTITY:account
_id:1
title:Cash
creation_date:127...
currency_id:5
total_amount:34...
type:CASH

"...

wish there was a way to view all info in charts via google spreadsheets / docs.

good luck.

Tried with a simpler name for the folder ... still not working.
