Bring Your Own Cloud

You are not tied to a specific cloud provider. With MMEX, you have the flexibility to store your database files using your chosen:

• Public Cloud Provider:

  • Google Drive
  • Microsoft OneDrive
  • Dropbox, etc.

• Private Cloud Provider:

  • NextCloud
  • Synology NAS, etc.

• Phone Storage + Sync Tools:

  • Syncthing, etc.

Once the Bring Your Own Cloud (BYOC) is set up on all your devices:

For Desktop MMEX:

• Install your preferred cloud provider client and set its synchronization
• Simply locate your database on the shared area provided by your chosen cloud provider.
• The BYOC system syncs the data to the cloud.

For Android MMEX:

• Install your preferred cloud provider client and set its synchronization
• Open or create your database on the shared area provided by your cloud provider.
• Enable synchronization via Main Menu -> Settings -> Synchronization.
  • Set the interval to 5 minutes and ensure “Sync on start” is checked.

For iOS MMEX:

• Install your preferred cloud provider client and set its synchronization
• Open or create(?) your database on the shared area provided by your cloud provider.

Here’s a simple diagram illustrating the synchronization process among the devices/platforms:
