# Cloud & Git Synchronization

Set up automatic, secure background syncing to Dropbox, Google Drive, and GitHub.

## Configuring Cloud Sync

1. Go to **Settings -> Cloud Sync**.
2. Select your provider:
   - **Google Drive / Dropbox:** Authorize the app using secure OAuth 2.0 to sync your notes to a folder in your personal drive.
   - **GitHub / Git Sync:** Connect a repository using a GitHub token. This enables automatic git commits, branches, and version control push/pull integrations.

## Sync Operations

- Sync operates in the background while you write.
- If you work offline, Basalt queues modifications and reconciles conflicts automatically when you reconnect.
