Cloud-Backup

Yes they are stored on MacroDroid's backend (So not accessible in any other way than through the MacroDroid app).
They are made automatically but not every night like local backups. Instead every time you make a change to your macros there will be a job scheduled for a few hours time and the cloud backup should happen then. The few hours delay is so that it doesn't make many backups in quick succession if you are making multiple changes.
There is a limit of 10 backups per device and a total maximum of 20 backups (the most recent across all devices).
With the cloud backups, I have bandwidth and storage considerations so I have to be a bit careful with limits and frequency. I think what I have should be ok but I need to monitor exactly how much is being used in the long term.

I don't plan to add an action for this since you have to manually sign in to cloud backup on any given device. If you don't need it for some devices then don't sign in or enable it on the devices and that should be fine.
It's possible you might have caught an early beta version where you were incorrectly signed in if you were signed in to the template store. This could be effecting early adopters in which case you will need to sign out/disable cloud backup on effected devices I'm afraid. But this issue should not effect any new installations of the latest version.

Sounds ace thank you
Sorry there is no way to do this and I don't think it would be a useful feature for many users I'm afraid.
@MacroDroidDev humor me atleast, I have a multi device situation where I can craft macros centrally and delivery to all the devices via a restore. How else could I achieve this?
@MacroDroidDev
may I remind at least these simple enhancements in
suggestions for helping synchronization of macros/blocks between devices
there was once discussion of having a choice menu to select which macros to import from a backup this is a rather involved enhancement and does not help entirely in synchronizing macros between devices, so I propose a number of small incremental enhancents that will help enormously and with...
which can be done independently and help enormously in distributing macros to many devices , a capability that interests all users

If I'm not mistaken, then the copy on the local cloud is updated automatically after a certain period. But you can change certain settings on your local storage, and all changes will be made at a specific time. Recently I found one Esynergy site and decided to buy small local storage there. And I can say that it was a great decision. I like that you can create many backups (up to 20, if I'm not mistaken), and it's very reliable. Plus, it is very convenient that the copy is constantly updated, and you can access your files anytime.
