Now, it is reported that Google is preparing to push this new generation backup experience to users of Android 8.0 and above in a few weeks. This means that even users with a general free 15GB cloud drive account can enjoy the backup experience of Backup by Google One.

Backup by Google One’s built-in backup experience will reportedly support Android 8.0 and above devices and will be fully rolled out within a few weeks. I wonder if you have received this update? Welcome to share your experience of using it.
