I did the actions you mentioned  above. I have a file with the following name    sbc_backup_20200330.sbcbackup and I downloaded this file to my windows-pc. 
How do I get this file on my iCloud Drive?

Joe, 

Thanks for reaching out. 

Here are the steps to restore backup from Google Drive on an iPad:

1. Once you've created a backup, share the backup file (.sbcbackup) from your Google Drive to your iCloud account by logging into drive.google.com

2. Select the backup file (contains .sbcbackup file extension) by right clicking on it, then click on share. On the next window you see, type in your iCloud account email address.

3. Now, Install ScanBizCards application on your iPad.

4. Click on the gear icon on the home screen of ScanBizCards app.

5. Click on Backup/Restore.

6. Click on Restore Now.

7. You need to find the .sbcbackup file which you shared from Google Drive and select that file.

This should work! If you still need any help do let us know, we'll be glad to help, submit your request here: https://support.scanbizcards.com/hc/en-us/requests/new
