Setting Description
Cellular Backup Turn on to let the app back up data when the device is connected to either a Wi-Fi or a cellular network. Otherwise, the app backs up data only when your device is connected to a Wi-Fi network.
Rescan local files Verify if local protected files have their backup copies in the cloud. Use this to synchronize the information about the protected files on your Android device and in the cloud. For example, when you delete a backup copy of a file from the cloud, the app will not back up the original file again, even if it is selected for backup, since the app treats the file as being backed up already.
