@dannyrichman we currently don't support versions but something we can consider in the future under a Pro plan
@giri Google Drive for desktop is a syncing app and doesn't support local conversion of Google Docs for backup purposes
I always needed this and have to find some hacks. Great to hear that the solution is available. Congrats!
@alpesh_modi venga! would love to hear other cloud services you would want added, thanks again!
@daksh_bhardwaj cool! simplicity was one of the core things we wanted users to experience from the name to the onboarding to the actual day2day app usage
When I attempt to run after installing, I get a "connecting to Bobby" message, but no connection. Am I missing something?
@chris_brandlon Perhaps the UI did not show up automatically post connection. Did you try clicking the tray icon?
@mohit_charkha thanks! let me know if you find it useful and how we can improve!
This is super helpful and simple to use. Definitely gonna try this! Amazing product! Congrats on the launch🚀🚀
@vmharwani yeah, we wanted to simplify and personalize backup as it's a bit intimidating so we borrowed from the mobile experience by using on/off switch
Hello everyone! I’m Terence Pua and I’m one of the makers of Bobby! Thanks for hunting us, @Kevin!
Bobby is a tray app that backs up all of your Google Docs to your desktop in one click.
Most of our data lives in the cloud now and they are not protected. We created Bobby to help protect your cloud.
While the cloud is reliable, it only takes one instance to ruin the thousands of hours of work you have put into your cloud data. You have data breaches, compromised logins, ransomware, viruses, and accidental (or intentional) deletions, just to name a few.
Bobby is a tray app (Windows, Mac, soon: Linux) that converts and backs up all your Google Docs to your desktop or local storage (usb drive, network drive, etc.) in a usable format (pdf, docx, etc.).
Here are the highlights of Bobby v1:
📝 Backup all your Google Docs to your local system
🔄 Conversion of Google Docs to .pdf, .docx, .xlsx, etc.
💾 Peripheral support (USB, external drive, NAS/network drive, etc.)
📚 Directory preservation
🔍 Preview of your backups
👬 Access to Shared drives and Shared with me
In the future, we are adding support for Google Drive, Google Photos, Notion, Docusign and others!
