Online cloud save backup with Google Drive (with versioning)
 
 

Why should I use Google Drive, when Steam Cloud exist?

• The main reason, you will have a secondary backup in case Steam fails to backup your save.
• Also the biggest benefit is “versioning”. Versioning allows you to have many older versions of your save, with the ability to “Keep Forever”.
• There are many “point of no return” so in case you make a mistake, you will be able to return to a previous save.
• Also if you’re the type of person to keep a staple save, like a starter save or NG+ save, you can set it to “Keep Forever” and be able to continuously restore that save.
• Lastly, if you want to try to do all endings in one run, versioning will be very useful having a checkpoint save.
