Rancakmedia.com – In this article, we will show you how to backup Android apps to Google Drive if something bad happens or you don't know about in the future.

Sometimes, factory data wipe is necessary on our phones due to various reasons. Or there are also those whose smartphones are misplaced and lose all data, including installed application data.

In other apps, the app's latest update threw a lot of errors, prompting us to roll back to the previous version.

We need the raw files to reinstall the previous version of the app (.apk). That's why we need to make a backup of every application installed on our cellphone.

How to Backup All Android Applications to Google Drive

we used to back up apps using 'App Backup & Restore'. When we use this app, we backup Android apps to our SD card and then restore them if backup.

Installing system apps on another phone is possible even with this tool as it lets you backup default Android apps, also known as system apps.

So, by using App Backup & Restore, we can also save application backup files to Google Drive.

That's what we mean. Actually backing up the program to external storage memory (SD card) is sufficient. However, to anticipate if our SD card is damaged, we still have another backup file on Google Drive.

Apart from that, if the number of applications we backup is large and we put them on a memory card, the memory card capacity will quickly fill up. So we need Google Drive so we can delete the backup files on the SD card.

  1. First you download 'App Backup & Restore' from the Play Store, then open the application
  2. On the application home page, select the 'Google Drive' menu tab, then touch the 'Add Account' button.
  3. Next, a Google account box will appear

Select an account that already exists on your cellphone/Sist or click 'Add Account' to use another account that is not yet on your cellphone.

After you select an account, tap the 'Ok' text sign.

  1. Wait a few seconds, a box requesting access permission will appear, then tap the 'Allow' sign

Wait until your Google account is connected to App Backup & Restore, then close or exit App Backup & Restore

  1. Reopen App Backup & Restore, then select the application you want to backup

Check the box on the right side of the app, then tap the 'Google Drive' symbol

Installing the Backup Results Application

If you want to install apps you've backed up from another phone:

  1. Sign in to the other phone using the Google account you used to back up
  2. Install App Backup & Restore on the new phone, then use the app

Connect your Google account with App Backup & Restore in the same way as before.

  1. Select the 'Google Drive' menu tab, then touch the 'Download' button

View backup results on Google Drive

Apart from the method just now, you can also install the apk file via Google Drive.

  1. Install and open Google Drive, then log in using the same account as the account you used to do the backup
  2. Locate the 'Application Backup Restore' folder created during the backup procedure and open/touch it to start the restore process.
  3. Tap the 'Apk' folder in the 'App Backup Restore' folder.

Then select any app you want to download and install it.
