Change folder for Tasker-Backup in Google Drive

It would be beneficial if wen could move the Tasker-Backup anywhere in Google Drive. At the moment it's on the start folder of "My Drive" and it can't be moved. Else a new Tasker-Backup-Folder will be created.

I wish that too. I have a folder for backups there.

Completely agree. I keep thinking there is a setting somewhere that I am missing. I'm really surprised this isn't an option. I am having to use a work around where I use the normal back up method and the use another app to sync that to Google Drive.

+1, easy to implement and keeps drives cleaner.

This seems to be solved.

The folder cannot be selected for me. I got the latest version from yesterday. I can't find an option where I can select a folder. Menu / Settings / Various

You can move the "Tasks Backups"-folder inside Google Drive to a folder that fits. But as I noticed the "Tasker"-folder can't be moved Joao?

This is marked as completed, yet I don't see a way to change the backup folder in Google Drive.

If this works for anyone, can you provide instructions how to change the backup folder location?

This is not complete. You cannot configure this setting.

Please mark this as incomplete or provide information on how to do this.

agreed, I see no option anywhere. 

Sorry about that. Not sure why this was marked as complete. Changed status now.

In Tasker Click on the 3 dots (top right hand corner) and select Preferences.
Click on the tab labeled as "MISC".
Uncheck "Google Drive Backup" then recheck it to re-map the drive connection.

Why don't let to choose the last folder name of the Backup on Google Drive?

 
For example the path is: "Tasker/data/backups/<phone name>/xxxxx.xml".
 
The problem is that often the "<phone name>" not is the Name that we give to the phone, for example "NB_Z60SP_MRK" but the incomprensibile model name, for example "NX713J".
 
This is very frustrating, because having more than one phone is very difficult to find the right backup.
 
I hope you will develop this feature in the upcoming and recent new version of the app Tasker.
 
Thanks in advance

Any updates on this, by any chance? I'd really love to be able to set a specific backup location as I like keeping my Drive organised.
