Shattered Pixel Dungeon v2.4.2- android, github version

I am new to Shattered Pixel Dungeon. I am playing it on degoogled GrapheneOS. I get the apk from github via Obtainium. I am hoping that I can back up my save games / badges / rankings or even transfer them from the android version to the desktop version.

But I have a problem. I am not using the google play version, since Google is spyware. So I cannot transfer badges via Google Play. The other option seems to be to root my phone and use adb to transfer the files. The problem with that is that I am using GrapheneOS. GrapheneOS does not allow you to root your phone for security reasons. It is believed that that would ruin the android security model.

So I need a third method to do this. How can I back up my save games / badges / rankings without google play and without rooting my GrapheneOS phone?

Thank you for your help.

Go into settings, system, backup. GrapheneOS has a built-in backup provider that can use USB drives.

This uses the same mechanism as a Google Backup, just without Google servers.
