## Description

BACKUPit is an all-in-one extension designed for effortless backup and restoration of your applications and contacts. With its App Manager, you can back up and restore apps to internal or external storage, launch apps directly, uninstall multiple apps at once, and share APK files via Bluetooth or WiFi file transfer. It also supports uploading and downloading apps from Google Drive and provides comprehensive app details.

The Contact Manager lets you backup, restore, view, search, sort, delete, and share contacts seamlessly, with the option to sync contacts through Google Drive. Additional features include auto backup, notifications, managing Google Drive accounts, showing/hiding system apps, and storage usage visualization. BACKUPit requires permissions to access storage and contacts to perform backup and restore operations effectively.
