Cloud storage

Former Member over 12 years ago

Hi
I appreciate the possibility to use cloud storage. From my point of view that’s the most important improvement in the 4.1.0 version of Basecamp.
But it seems the sync-function is not yet quite up to my expectations. I have set of folders and lists on my computer.
When I used the new function on another computer, all I got was a very long list of waypoints and routes. No folders, no lists were synced.
I tried on a third computer, with the same result.
As far as I can see, there is no way to choose which folders or lists to sync. I am also wondering, if I manually make the same folders and lists on different computers, what happens if I make a change to a route? Will the same route be changed on the other computers, or only in the cloud data?
My conclusion so far is that Garmin has made an important and long wanted step forward, but it is still more to do with the sync and cloud storage.

You can store and sync up to 150MB of data in the cloud, per Garmin account. The data stored in the cloud will be synced with any computer running current BaseCamp software and logged into the same account. At this time, folder and list structure is not retained. Any changes made to data stored in the cloud on one computer will be duplicated on computers signed into the same account when they are synced.

Hi, are there any problems with cloud storage? I´m not able to delete my content in the cloud. I tried to delete with 4.1.2 and 4.2.0.4, but result was the same. Is there any other possibility to remove content from cloud?

Something seems broken indeed. I'll investigate.

I apologize for the trouble. And thank you for letting us know.

Hi, new version (4.2.1.) and the same problem. It´s not possibble to delete my content in the cloud.

Hi, new version (4.3.0.2 beta) and the same problem. It´s not possibble to delete content in my cloud. Maybee it´s due to czech letters in waypoint names like (ě,š,č,ř,ž,ý,á,í,é,etc)?

I have two items hanging in Cloud Storage, a route and a track. When I delete them or change their name they come back immediately into Cloud Storage. Is there a way to purge those items?

Cloud Storage works fine for all other items that I put in or take out. Using BC 4.3.5.
