If you have root access, yes.[1] Otherwise no, sadly. One of the reasons I moved off Authy before it got worse. There is a workaround using the Authy Desktop app but I have no idea if it works.[2] [1] https://github.com/beemdevelopment/Aegis/pull/107 https://github.com/beemdevelopment/Aegis/pull/107 [2] https://gist.github.com/gboudreau/94bb0c11a6209c82418d01a59d958c93 https://gist.github.com/gboudreau/94bb0c11a6209c82418d01a59d...

Done, migrated 40 accounts to Aegis. As I see, it backs up to the internal storage, so I have to use another app to sync the backup to a cloud of my choice

    doesn't seem to show for me, only internal space. I have no idea why. edit: this is not released yet, I think

    One of the authors here. Unfortunately, Google Drive and Dropbox only partially participate in Android's Storage Access Framework. In Aegis, exporting only requires the creation of a file, so that works with both. Configuring backups on the other hand requires selecting a folder, but most cloud providers don't support that. A notable exception is Nextcloud.

      How about cloud paas providers like AWS? The user could generate a IAM access key with permissions to manage a specific bucket and configure Aegis with the key. Aegis would use the cloud Api to upload the backup. If that is of interest, I could help implement that.

commented on my question with a snipped I wrote based on that extraction method from authy. The code generates a Aegis compatible database instead of printing QR codes
