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.

  • Local Storage + Sync Tools:

    • Syncthing, etc.

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

For Desktop MMEX:

  • Simply locate your database on the shared area provided by your chosen cloud provider.
  • The BYOC system takes care of synchronizing the data to the cloud.

For Android MMEX:

  • 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.

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