Open App Settings in Zoom BackUpz2. Configuring Storage Destinations
Zoom BackUpz supports multiple destination storage targets for downloaded recordings and transcripts:
Local & External Disk Storage
Store your recording archive on any directory accessible to your Windows computer.
- Internal SSD/HDD (e.g.
C:\Users\Username\ZoomBackups) - External high-capacity USB/Thunderbolt drives
- Mapped network drives (SMB/CIFS file shares)
Private WebDAV / Nextcloud
Directly transfer backup files to your private or corporate Nextcloud/WebDAV cloud storage.
- WebDAV Host URL (e.g.
https://cloud.example.com/remote.php/webdav/) - Username and encrypted App Password
- Custom remote directory structure
3. Synchronization Schedules & Indexing
In the application settings, you can define how and when Zoom BackUpz syncs your cloud recordings:
- Automatic Polling Interval: Choose how frequently the app checks Zoom for newly ended meetings (e.g. Every 1 hour, Every 6 hours, or Daily).
- File Type Filters: Choose whether to archive all files (MP4 video, M4A audio, VTT transcripts, in-meeting chat logs) or select specific media assets.
- Bandwidth & Concurrency: Set maximum simultaneous downloads to optimize network performance.
4. Account & Token Management
Connected Account Information
You can view your currently connected Zoom User ID, authorized scopes, and token validity inside the desktop app. Tokens are refreshed automatically without requiring you to re-enter your password.
