All your workbooks in Classroom can be seamlessly backed up into your institutions Google Drive using Auto Backup. Using Auto Backup, a direct copy of all your files will be stored in Google Drive either as a Goodnotes file or PDF.
How to set up auto backup to Google Drive
- Tap the ⚙️ icon in the top-right corner of the Library view > Settings > Automatic Backup, and enable Auto Backup.
- Choose a Google Drive and sign in
-
By default, the destination folder of the backup will be called “GoodNotes”. If you want to backup to a different folder, just type in the name of the folder into the field in the Auto Backup settings. If no folder with that name exists yet, GoodNotes will create one. If you want to back up to a subfolder of a folder, type in the path and separate the folders and subfolders using a slash (“/”). For example: GoodNotes/backup… (Don't use "/" at the end of the path.)
The Auto Backup folder in Google Drive will only save to your base-level Google Drive folder and a custom destination folder is not possible to set at this time.
Once you've enabled the feature for the first time, please keep the app visible on the screen until Auto Backup finishes uploading your entire library. After that, only changed documents get backed up. You can see the Auto Backup status by tapping the small icon under the "Documents" heading.
