I understand the “safety” limitations of later versions of android. However i am a backup nut, especially when it comes to projects i am working on. I know that real time backup sync to the cloud has its complications. That being said it would be more than awesome to have automatic scheduled backup, even to a storage folder or sd card. Ever since Android has made access to root folders (without root) impossible, the fact that i have to manually export or share projects to save them is inconvenient at least and “oh-dear-god-i-hope-i-exported-my-project-before-i-dropped-my-phone-in-the-toilet” terrifying at worst. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE add an automatic backup to sd or something. Surely I’m not alone in this… 
Anyone?

Thanks for your message.
Please take a look at the “MediaBay” chapter of the Cubasis help to learn more about the available options to create backups of your data:

This worked for older versions of android before 13 but these folders cannot be accessed no matter what file manager i use. And even if i could, it still requires manually copying those files/folders to another location. Apps like Autosync and X-plore USED to allow me to schedule backups. However, as stated before, this is not possible. This is why my feature request is to have an automatic backup native to cubasis of ALL cubasis app data to another location. It’s really the only feature that makes cubasis 3 not perfect.
P. S. I am very familiar with android os and i can only access /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.steinberg.cubasis3 folder on rooted devices. And I don’t want to HAVE to root.
Please use the app “Files” by "Marc apps & software” which will work as expected. The Cubasis help will updated shortly, including the app recommendation for Android OS 14 users.
Best,
Lars
I truly do appreciate your efforts in this matter and kudos of finding one of the few (if only) apps that allow for access to the data folders. That being said, this still requires manual copying of files for backup. Automation has become the standard in many applications where work is being performed. I don’t expect steinberg to add this feature overnight, and I am grateful for you finding at least a temporary solution to backing up (even if manually) my projects data. I will just be looking forward to a cubasis native automatic backup to external source that will be android update resistant if not proof. I will leave this topic at that in hopes that it makes it up the chain. Thank you again. P.S. Cubasis 3 is hands down the best.

Here’s my take on it: using office 365 cloud backup is a smart move. It’s like having a digital safety net for your important files, whether it’s work docs, family photos, or that killer playlist you’ve curated. Plus, it’s all about convenience. You can access your stuff from anywhere with an internet connection, which is a game-changer when you’re on the go.

I don’t see how your answer addresses the lack of cloud sync in Cubasis. It looks like you’re marketing a third-party service that has no place here.
Honestly, your reply is worse than AI spam. Some of us spend a lot of time searching for answers to obstacles in our recording workflows. Thoughtless replies like yours discourage people from using Cubasis specifically.
Let’s stayed focused on solutions here and not insult someone who offers a solution you don’t agree with. At least he offered a viable solution. All cloud services are third-party.
What cloud do you propose Cubasis sync to that would satisfy all Cubasis users?

Did you even read the original post? The person wasn’t asking for cloud service suggestions for Cubasis. They were asking for Steinberg to integrate cloud sync as a feature into the app to seamlessly backup project files to the cloud in general. As it exists, Office 365 on mobile offers no solution to this problem. If it did, that would be lovely.
Please do not encourage the spam replies. It’s hard enough finding helpful information in bot-infested forums. We should flag their posts before they waste anyone else’s time.
He was reaction to the complaint that the original poster made later that he had to copy his projects manually… i dont see how you think he didnt wrote something that was in line with anything in the thread.
Other than that, you are reacting to a reply that was made 7 months ago

Cloud service sync wouldn’t even be necessary if Steinberg would simply change Cubasis’ project fold to be located in say the Music folder, or even a Cubasis project folder that is outside the Android Data folder. This folder is inaccessible except for special file managers and rooted phones/tablets. If the files where simply in a Cubasis Project folder than can be accessed by anyone, there are third party apps that allow syncing files to any cloud service. I have done this successfully and easily before the android OS update. Work on project on phone, App automatically syncs files, open tablet, files from cloud synced to tablet, open Cubasis, Get back to work as if nothing happened. I went to get coffee up the road, bomb dropped on house, everything is destroyed, I tell insurance company I lost everything that matters, except my Cubasis project that is safely backed up to the cloud. In summery, Steinberg, JUST CHANGE THE FOLDER LOCATION!

Yes and that pretty evident and ofcourse it has been suggested before… the problem is that we dont know why it didnt happen…
@LSlowak care to explain the reason why this is,apparently, hard to implent?

Hi all,
Cubasis for Android complies with Android 10’s “Scoped Storage” requirements for file storage and management. Our engineering will evaluate the feasibility of implementing the “Shareable Media Files” option.

It is easily be possible via MediaStoreAPI and premissions . You can get accsess to internal shared media folder like “music” or “pictures” with “getExternalFilesDir()” and “getCacheDir()” or just create your own appfolder in storage/emulated/0/Cubasis Share for example. The files will be stored in /data/media and that means that storage/emulated/0 is just mounted to that path.
I’ve tried it with my own app and asked chatgpt for the coding 
works fine. Cubasis allready got this in app because you can import via media bay and export your shared presets. SO the developer allready get that string of code right.
