Is there a homebrew app that's capable of backing up saves AND uploading them to a cloud service (like Dropbox, GDrive & such)?

Backup is a major thing for me, especially with handheld consoles.

I backup my saves periodically, then wait for the next opportunity to copy them over to cloud, by physically connecting the Switch to a PC.
Can we skip the PC part? Switch->cloud service direct backup solution?

BackupNX will upload the files of your choice to Dropbox (I don't remember if it got updated to support other hosts). Use it with Checkpoint to back up your saves.

Awesome - and very retro-looking
