cloud map and data storage/sync

New Post

I use Locus Pro on multiple devices. I'd like a way to sync POIs, geophotos, map items, and offline maps between devices.

You can use a free account on SugarSync to do this.
Simply install their Android app on all of your devices and add the export folder to be synced with the mapitems. The missing sync between these folders on SugarSync can be done with iBeam.it.

Or you go for some paid apps that sync your Dropbox.

But these are just workarounds until Menion provides something like PushBullet...

Hello, this application also synchronize directories using different accounts (dropbox, ftp, samba, etc).

https://play.google.com/store/apps/de...

If you want you can sync all Locus directory (/ sdcard / Locus), though it will take some time depending on the internet connection. In this way you would have a mirror copy of Locus on all your devices, but also have the option to choose which directories synchronized.

Been requesting this for a long time! We need a native sync so there is no BS with setting up additional tools and doing exports/imports.

I support the idea of built-in cloud synchronization. The less apps we have to install - the better :)

I try it by PhoneExplorer. But it is around some corners. So it would be fine to do it in Locus.

Dropbox offers now something called the "Datastore API" in addition to their already existing "Sync API".

https://www.dropbox.com/developers/sync

Implementing sync/store features that way have some advantages for developers...
- No need for own server and bandwith
- No need for working and maintaining the code
- No need for getting bothered by unsatisfied users

=> Happy Users! ;)

The best way is to create an API that can implement various servers and allow optimized synchronize your needs. It's no problem to do some opensource server implementation that everyone can use the hosting for yourself or as a public service to others.

You say "It's no problem to do some opensource server implementation..."

Can you give an example?

The feature would be great. However, now we can use any sync program. I have tried one, but it is not working as expected. Only the personal maps are actually syncronised. I have on a device some tracks and points saved, but somehow on the other device they do not show up. Only the downloaded maps do...

What specific folders do we have to keep synced? Also the files need to be synced only when Locus is not running?

Thank you!
