Enable Direct Backups to Google Drive / OneDrive

I would like to suggest adding a feature that allows users to directly back up their servers to cloud storage services, such as Google Drive or OneDrive, without needing to manually download files through the browser.

Why This Feature Is Important

Many users—especially those with large servers, mods, or world files—face issues with:

  • Slow download speeds

  • Browser timeouts

  • Limited mobile or low-bandwidth connections

  • Large backups that take too long or fail midway

Allowing direct cloud backup would solve all these issues instantly.


How the Feature Would Work

  • Users connect their Google Drive or OneDrive account to Zap-Hosting via OAuth

  • They choose “Backup to Cloud” in the panel

  • ZAP-Hosting automatically uploads the compressed server backup to the user’s cloud storage

  • Users can also restore directly from cloud storage with one click

  • Schedule automatic cloud backups (daily/weekly)


Benefits to Users

  • No need to download large files onto their device

  • No failed or corrupted downloads

  • Backups stored safely and permanently in their own cloud storage

  • Easy transfer between PCs, servers, or friends

  • Extremely useful for Minecraft, FiveM, ARK & modded server owners


Benefits to Zap-Hosting

  • Significantly reduced bandwidth usage on backup downloads

  • Fewer support tickets related to:

    • Missing backups

    • Failed downloads

    • Corrupted files

  • More professional and modern backup system

  • Enhances ZAP-Hosting’s reputation as a convenience-focused platform


Supported Cloud Platforms (Suggestion)

  • Google Drive (most common globally)

  • OneDrive (Windows users)

  • Optional future expansion: Dropbox, Mega, Box, etc.
