Export Button#

Export Button - an element in the top control panel of the "Accounts" section that allows you to save selected accounts locally on your computer, in Google Drive cloud storage, or in Afina Cloud. It initiates a backup task. The execution status is displayed in the "Backup Journal" section.

Location: access to the button is through the top control panel of the "Accounts" section.

Available actions:

export selected accounts locally to a file on the computer
export selected accounts to Google Drive cloud storage
export selected accounts to Afina Cloud storage
view the progress and results of the export in the "Backup Journal" section.

Local Export#

Local Export is designed to save selected accounts to a file on the local computer. After clicking the button, Afina opens a system window to choose a folder where you specify the location to save the archive.

How to perform a local export:

Select one or more accounts in the table using checkboxes.
Click Export in the top control panel.
In the system folder selection window, specify the location for saving and confirm the selection.

After confirming the folder, Afina creates a backup task and starts the saving process. A green notification message appears confirming the successful task creation. The execution result is displayed in the "Backup Journal" section.

Before clicking Export, make sure to select the necessary accounts in the table. The action will not proceed without selected accounts.

Export to Google Drive#

Export to Google Drive is an option in the "Export" button menu that allows you to save selected accounts to Google Drive cloud storage. Choosing this option immediately initiates a backup task without opening a system window to choose a folder.

How to export to Google Drive:

Select one or more accounts in the table using checkboxes.
Click the dropdown arrow next to the Export button to open the menu.
Select Export to Google Drive.

Afina immediately initiates a backup task and displays a green notification message confirming its successful creation. The final execution result - success or error - is recorded in the "Backup Journal" section under the "Type" column with the value "Google Drive".

Export to Afina Cloud#

Export to Afina Cloud is an option in the "Export" button menu that allows you to save selected accounts to Afina Cloud cloud storage. Choosing this option immediately initiates a backup task without opening a system window to choose a folder.

How to export to Afina Cloud:

Select one or more accounts in the table using checkboxes.
Click the dropdown arrow next to the Export button to open the menu.
Select Export to Afina Cloud.

Cloud Storage Formats#

Cloud Storage Formats define where backups and profile data are actually stored. Afina offers two options with different purposes: Google Drive for solo work and Afina Cloud for teamwork.

Google Drive stores all backups and profile data directly on your personal Google Drive. It is a tool for solo work without additional users, automatic backups, and syncing your own devices. Two copies of Afina on different PCs can be linked through Google Drive to transfer data, but the same encryption key file must be loaded and the same master password entered on both devices.

Afina Cloud stores data on Afina servers. It is a team option for quickly sharing accounts between members: the license owner and invited workers. Sharing profiles through Afina Cloud works strictly within a single license — if the applications are registered to different email addresses, these are two different licenses, and transferring accounts to each other through Afina Cloud is not possible.

In both options, all data in the cloud is stored exclusively in encrypted form. Access to it is only possible with your key file and master password.

Choose storage based on your plan. If your plan includes users (workers), use Afina Cloud for team account sharing. If you have no users, use Google Drive for solo work and backups.

Workflow Scenario#

Step 1: Select Accounts

Check one or more accounts in the table using checkboxes. Use the master checkbox in the table header for mass selection.

Step 2: Open Export

Click the Export button in the top control panel for local saving or expand the button menu and select Export to Google Drive for cloud saving.

Step 3: Specify Local Folder

If you chose local export, specify the folder for saving the archive in the system window and confirm the selection. This step is skipped for Google Drive export.

Step 4: Wait for Confirmation

After initiation, a green notification message will appear confirming the successful creation of the backup task.

Step 5: Check the Journal

Open the Backup Journal section to review the task execution status: Pending, In Progress, Completed, or Error.
