No issue, but I know it has been mentioned that other cloud storage sites may be added, however I haven't seen any mention of OpenDrive. (www.opendrive.com)

They have info on their site about their API https://www.opendrive.com/apps/api

You can already use OpenDrive's WebDAV endpoint with Akeeba Backup's "Upload using WebDAV" post-processing engine. The configuration you need is:
Username: Your OpenDrive username
Password: Your OpenDrive password
WebDAV base URL: https://webdav.opendrive.com

Why use that instead of a special integration using their API? Unfortunately their API cannot be used with Akeeba Backup. Like most storage providers, they have an API geared towards consumer-facing web sites, i.e. a central site where users register to and uses the OpenDrive API to store and retrieve files to the user's OpenDrive account. This is not the case with Akeeba Backup, where we need one API partner (us) allowing the software to be installed on many servers (your sites) without requiring you to join OpenDrive's developer programme with all the pitfalls this entails. So, just stick with WebDAV. It's reliable, it's convenient, it's the only support you'll even get for OpenDrive.

So I set my backup for WebDAV and it worked beautifully. Thank you so much. I'm glad I purchased a subscription.
