**How does Third-party Cloud Sync (Google Drive) work in Readest?**

Hi! Sorry if this is a basic question, but I’m a bit confused about how the Third-party Cloud Sync option works.

I noticed that Readest offers free cloud sync (up to 500 MB), but there is also an option to connect a third-party cloud service like Google Drive.

If I enable Google Drive, does that mean my books, reading progress, highlights, notes, and other data will be synced through my own Drive instead of Readest’s cloud?

For example, could I read on my PC, then continue on my phone exactly where I left off (and vice versa) using Google Drive as the sync method? Or is the Google Drive integration only for storing/importing files and not for full reading synchronization?

Thanks!
