Cloud Sync

General (non-technical) Testing Forum for Moderators / Admins
#1

Could someone post an example of how to use Cloud Sync. I would like to know how it is used. If possible I would like to use it to sync lines of code between phones such as the color of something. Different people would modify the color and then it would sync to everyone else’s device. Is this possible with Cloud Sync?

Hi Dayaffe99,

Cloud Sync is specifically for device syncing, meaning saving the state of an app then allowing the user to move to a different device and then you can sync the state on that new device. Cloud Sync provides a single storage box per user that is not shared.

 

What you are referring will be addressed with our Free Form Database feature, where a you can store arbitrary data and allow permission for it to be shared between different users.

Unfortunately I can’t give you a firm ETA, but we have had this feature requests many times before, so without doubt its on our top priority list.

 

Thanks

I am really intrested in the Free form Database feature. I was looking at Parse.com but I rather use Corona since it will most likely make things simpler. I know you dont have a ETA but will it be sooner than later.

Thanks

I would really like a free form database feature as well. Mohamed do you think you could point me in the direction of a third party service for this if there is one? Much appreciated.

Also interested in free form db. Perhaps a Corona Mongodb backend???

Can we use the cloud sync feature to restore flushed device? I mean if the player deletes the game can I restore the data from the box? if so, is there any tutorial where to start?
