Can you also integrate the backup function with Google Drive?

Google Drive Added. Needs testing.

PS: I'm still not able to send transactions.

I've added a new api call to check https://blockchain.info/rejected after tx send. If an error is found it will now give a reason why your transaction failed.

More Detail: When a transaction is pushed out it goes through some basic validity checks (using BitcoinJ) and is then pushed to Bitcoind for broadcast. As long as it passes the initial checks it is reported as sent but there are some conditions in which Bitcoind may subsequently reject it. The most common cause of this is when bitcoind's memory pool gets out of sync with the unconfirmed transactions in the SQL database e.g. when bitcoind is restarted.


Any tx's with outputs <= 0.001 BTC require a fee. Until recently i was not aware of this and the both the android and iPhone app do not factor this in when calculating the tx fee (the web interface does). Eligius does process low fee transactions for blockchain.info but there can be a delay of up to a few hours.
