Key Takeaways

Unlike cloud apps, Pocket Portfolio uses Sovereign Sync to turn your Google Drive into a database. This approach ensures:

  • Data Ownership: Your financial data lives in your Google Drive, not a vendor's database
  • No Vendor Lock-in: Export anytime, use any tool
  • Privacy by Default: Your data never leaves your control
  • Local-First Resilience: Works offline, syncs when online

Learn how to set up Google Drive Sync and turn your Drive into your personal financial database.
