did you enable PIN protection in backup?
Yes we decoupled PIN setting AMS/AT/BACKUP.

A widget to run the backup won't be bad :)
Also, when I switch between apps (windows) the backup one does not require the PIN again as AMS does. Is it by design or it is a bug? Or, something changed in the last beta that override my setting asking for a PIN... ::)

I've updated the beta and the state of the PIN changed (from enabled to disabled).
I'm still facing issues with the backup. It does not finish at all, errors and errors... Can I help troubleshoot? How?

Still backup issues... and it does not go further... Now is an "unknown reason".

If I have more than one device, it's difficult to find it in Google Drive due to automatic numbering of the folder.
Can you add a prefix set by the user, for example, "My Phone avast! Files (XXX.... XXX)"?

By the way, any info about Google Drive storage increasing to 25Gb?
Of course, I've run out of space already :'(

unfortunately we need the name stay consistent and the same for all times. all "changeable" stuff is therefore not good.

So, at least, show inside of the mobile app the name of the remote folder.

One thing I have missed - notification icon in the task bar when backup is running. One more option which may be useful - option to select one or more  files (or folder) to back up no matter what type it is.
