You don't have to use the cloud transfer with WhatsApp. You can simply transfer the backup files manually before you do the first logon. They're in the media folder.

With Viber I don't know, I've never used that.

This does not work anymore. The chats are encrypted and the key to decrypt them is not in the backup files.
