[FEATURE] Smart switch - Add Custom folders to backup

JoshS97 — Mon, 11 Aug 2025 16:42:01 GMT

I have files that reside outside of the known folder locations that contain things I would like to backup or transfer as part of an upgrade to a new phone.

It would be nice to have the ability to add custom folders to also be backed up locally using SmartSwitch.

I was under the impression it did backup custom folders. Last time I did a device transfer all the extra folders I made moved over to the new device. They were placed in the root of the device, not true root of course but in the same area as the android folder

And since backups are the same as transfers, I assume backups will contain the same data.

Mind giving an example of a folder location? Decent chance I'm just not fully understanding

You can transfer it manually via Bluetooth, cable or smart share

I have a couple of emulators on my phone and have quite a few ROMS😅, but during a backup to an external storage device it doesn't explicitly backup my folder called Emulation which resides at the "Root" directory.
