Backing Up / Restoring Proloquo2Go


Certain apps installed on the iPad create user data. The data that is created typically contains valuable information that is important to have access to refer back to.    For example, the data may be used to keep track of where the user may be as they progress through the application, etc.


Most apps that create user data will allow you to backup that data to iCloud.  However, since most managed iPads have restrictions set, allowing Apple IDs to access iCloud is typically not an option.


So, another backup option outside of the Apple ID requirement will need to be selected, such a Google drive.



Example – Proloquo2Go



With Proloquo2Go running select the gear icon at the bottom to open Options




Select Backup from the Options menu



























Select your backup provider (In this example we are using Google Drive)


















Select Continue to allow Proloquo2Go to sign into your Google Account.











Enter your Google email address used for Google drive












You must now allow Proloquo2Go to access the Google Account.












Scroll down the page and select Allow











Once connected to Google Drive a Backup will take place.

The date of the last backup is displayed




You can select Back Up at any time to backup the User data to Google Drive.
