I am looking for a recording tool/app (preferably for Android) which would allow me to start recording a video and have that video saved to the cloud as I record it. I already have several ways to automatically upload video files to the could once the recording has ended and the file is saved to the device. I want something that will save a video in progress to the cloud as I record it.

An example use-case would be an activist filming coverage of an event where the device is accidentally destroyed or confiscated by authorities mid-stream/record. The ability to go and find what was recorded before it has to be completed, saved, and then uploaded is extremely valuable to me. The upload to cloud option is, of course, in case access the device can not be restored; I’d like to go find what was captured up until the moment of disruption from any device so long as I have the credentials.

I avoid mainstream services like YouTube and Facebook but will use them if I must, preferring FOSS, decentralized, privacy respecting, etc. options where possible.

Any suggestions are much appreciated!

    The ACLU has an app called Mobile Justice that does something along those lines
