The Google Play Services app, version 26.32.31 beta, indicates upcoming features that may permit users to back up additional folders, such as Downloads. Currently, automatic online backups do not encompass all data, with encryption preventing some apps from being backed up. The beta suggests that not only might the Downloads folder be backed up, but other folders may also be included. A reference in the source code to 'documents' hints that specific file types may have backup limitations. Further developments from Google are expected soon regarding these features.
