Automatically Back up Boulevard to Your Google Drive

Boulevard supports automatic backups to Google Drive by connecting a Google account in Preferences. After verifying the Google email address and granting access, Boulevard is set to upload backup files directly to Google Drive whenever the software is closed.

If you have a Gmail/Google account, you already have access to Google Drive

 From the Preferences Options button on the main toolbar, select save Backup Options (or from the Edit menu, select Preferences, then click the Backup tab).

  1. Select Google Drive, then click Settings.

  6. In Boulevard, click OK to acknowledge that it has been successfully configured.
