Can I access my Google Drive backup directly?

Short answer: no — and neither can we. Only the Tellself app can access it for restoration.

The backup is stored in your Google Drive, but it's not readable by you or other apps — it can only be used by Tellself to restore your journal.

To check if a backup exists: Google Drive → Settings → Manage apps.

Warning: if you delete it from there, it's gone permanently. Be careful.
