What about those of us who use multiple devices, or multiple browsers? I've been using local storage for years and it's definitely hampering adoption, especially for multiplayer.
- TekMol 1y agoOne approach might be to save the file to a shared drive like Google Drive?
- gavmor 1y agoNot sure I trust Dropbox to merge data. What happens when I want to migrate my data structures to a new schema?
- TekMol 1y agoAs far as I know, Dropbox does not merge data. I never tried it, but from the descriptions I have read, Dropbox detects conflicting file saves (if you save on two devices while they are offline) and stores them as "conflicting copies". So the user can handle the conflict. As a developer, you would do this in the application. "Hey, you are trying to save your data but the data on disk is newer than when you loaded it ... Here are the differences and your options how to merge.".
- gavmor 1y ago> Hey, you are trying to save your data but the data on disk is newer than when you loaded it You're suggesting an actual API-facilitated data sync via Dropbox? Sure, but at that point why? Unless the data also needs to be read by 3rd party applications, might as well host it myself.
- keysdev 1y agoSyncthing pls. Pls try to use open source alternative whenever possible even though they are not as developed as the closed sourced one, it works better for the public.
