Not having any issues with Akeeba (it's saved my butt so many times!) but had a question about file types in Google Storage. Recently made the switch to GS from Dropbox and noticed different file types in the buckets. I'm wondering if this is an issue or not. View attached file that shows variance among the backup files. Not at all urgent. Thanks for this great product!

You can safely ignore that :)

Google Storage does not know what the .jpa and all .j* files are about so it tries to auto-detect their MIME type. Since these files contain arbitrary binary data it fails to perform a correct auto-detection and shows you its best guess which is wrong. That said, this information is not used while uploading or downloading the file, therefore it can be safely ignored.
