Backup/restore process improvement suggestions #276

Testing with the staging release

From xrpcode.wpi.edu/staging, I connected to my XRP, signed into google and initiated a backup to google. That completed as expected, though a "Backup Successful" dialog would be a nice addition.

But, once the backup was complete, the Google filesystem doesn't show any files in the web app. I have verified that the files are present in the folder on my google drive, but none show in the app. However, when I refresh the page, sign back into google again and reconnect to my XRP, I now see a folder called "XRP Code Backup" with the files from my XRP.

Thinking further about things, is there any consideration for someone working with multiple XRP robots with the google drive support? It looks like everything is tied to a single folder, at least by default. I would have expected that the backup would create a folder that is unique to the connected XRP so that there would be no confusion over which files are associated with the robot.

Additionally, when doing a restore, can you select which folder from which to restore? As a teacher, I would want to have a "golden" set of files that I could load onto a set of robots. Then once the project is completed, I could have all the students upload (backup) their robots to the google project area under separate folders for each robot.

Also, I would want to have a way to set the root folder for backup to something other than "MyDrive" so I could manage multiple projects all with the same XRP robots.
