It would be useful to have a scheduled backup feature so backup of data can be automated. What would be really cool is, if instead of or optionally, instead of sending an email link for you to download the data, we can configure a directory (Google Drive, Dropbox, FTP server) for the file to be dropped into. ---

That would be awesome! Does anyone know how to do it using our new “workflow schedule” functionality? ---

Great idea, but it comes with a few challenges: managing authentication for third-party storage, increased support needs, and ongoing maintenance to stay compatible with multiple platforms. There’s also no clear feedback for users when files are ready, which can lead to confusion or delays. On top of that, handling sensitive data this way increases the risk of leaks and raises concerns around data residency and encryption policies. ---

Scheduled bacups to csv allready available on Enterprise plan as option. But not in automated manner, mean you need aplly to receive csv files. As I remember.
