Sharing data between devices

Solar2D General Questions/Discussion

Hi there,

I would like to offer users the possibility of sharing app data between devices.

I have a sqlite database and a series of audio files which the user has recorded themselves via the app. These are all saved in the documents directory.

I know I could build some kind of web interface which allowed users to upload the data and then download it to a different device but this would be a lot of work and kind of clunky.

I’d rather have an option available for the information to be sent wirelessly or synced between devices somehow.

Does anyone know a way this might be possible using Corona?

Thanks,

Hi Ian,
You could build a custom networked solution for this, as you suggest, or you can investigate Corona Cloud which is (currently) in beta at this point. It will allow for data storage in the cloud, so you could easily sync up files between devices.

Here’s some preliminary info, with more announcements coming soon.
