Bring Your Own Storage (BYOS)

PratikYedek offers a BYOS option on personal and SME plans — keep your encrypted snapshots in your own cloud account:

• ✅ Google Drive (your Google account)
• ✅ Microsoft OneDrive (App Folder; your Microsoft account)
• ❌ Tax-advisor plan: PROHIBITED (TTK Art. 82 + VUK 10-year Turkey-residency rule)

Why BYOS?

• Data ownership — files live in your account; PratikYedek is only the temporary bridge
• Cost — use your own storage plan (Google Drive 100 GB ≈ 30 ₺/month)
• Exit path — even if you cancel PratikYedek, you keep direct access to your data

How it works

1. Open Settings → Storage in the PratikYedek panel
2. Tap Connect (Google Drive or OneDrive)
3. Approve the OAuth consent (app-folder scope only)
4. The Test button verifies the connection
5. All subsequent snapshots are written to your BYOS

OAuth scopes (minimum)

PratikYedek requests app-folder scope only:

• Google Drive — drive.appdata (we only see files we wrote)
• OneDrive — Files.ReadWrite.AppFolder (App Folder isolation)

We have no access to your other files.

Encryption stays end-to-end

Using BYOS does not weaken encryption:

• Files are AES-256-GCM encrypted on your device
• Encrypted chunks are uploaded to Drive/OneDrive
• Google/Microsoft only see opaque encrypted blobs

KVKK § 9 cross-border transfer

When you choose BYOS:

• Google Drive servers: multi-region (typically US/EU)
• OneDrive: EU
• We collect explicit consent for KVKK § 9 cross-border transfer at connection time
• Tax-advisor plan cannot use BYOS (see restriction page)

• Connect Google Drive
