Shapr3D Sync

Shapr3D Sync is a Shapr3D Cloud feature that keeps your projects up to date and accessible across devices. Personal projects sync to your account, while team projects sync across all members of the team. All synced projects are backed up in Shapr3D Cloud and can be downloaded to work offline. Shapr3D Cloud ensures that your data is yours, giving you a secured solution following industry best practices.

Shapr3D Sync is the solution you need if:

• You want to access and edit your projects across multiple devices. With Shapr3D Sync, your projects are always up to date, so you can move between your desktop, tablet, or a newly set-up device and continue where you left off.
• You want to collaborate in a shared team space. Team projects automatically sync across all team members, making it easy to stay aligned and work together in real time.
• You want to keep a cloud backup of your projects. All synced projects are stored in Shapr3D Cloud, so your data stays safe even if something happens to your device.

Using Shapr3D Sync

To work with projects using Shapr3D Sync, keep the following in mind:

• You need an active internet connection to sync or download project data.
• Projects are stored in the cloud. You must be online to access any project that hasn’t been downloaded to your device.
• Offline access is only available for projects that have already been downloaded.

Manage project storage

Shapr3D automatically syncs your projects to Shapr3D Cloud so you can access the latest version from any device you’re signed in to.

 Each project can be in one of three states:

• Local only – Stored only on your current device, not yet backed up to the cloud.
• Synced – Stored in the cloud and also downloaded to your device for local access.
• Cloud only – Stored in the cloud but not currently downloaded to your device.

You can manage storage individually for each project in the Dashboard.

To manage storage for a project:

1. Right-click (secondary click) the project in your Dashboard.
2. Select Download Now or Remove Download.
   
   • Download Now – Saves a local copy of the project so you can open and edit it offline.
   • Remove Download – Clears the local copy from your device to save storage space. The project stays safely in the cloud and can be downloaded again anytime.
