{% hint style="warning" %}
DriveKit uses [key-value backup](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/data/keyvaluebackup). If you use [Auto Backup](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/data/autobackup), you need to add `android:fullBackupOnly` in your [Manifest](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/application-element#fullBackupOnly).
