bran479 Posted May 3, 2016 Author Share Posted May 3, 2016 I feel like it says please wait but never fishishes syncing? This will depend on size of collection of course but how long is needed on average? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOS76 Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 My game collection is pretty big and it synced within minutes for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SentaiBrad Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 The first time it synced my 18k games within a few min, the second time it took almost a half hour. Just give it some time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StuDentBR Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 What is the functions of This cloud ? Is it Just to show my collection to someone ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SentaiBrad Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Yes, it's just for the My Collection portion of the Database. It honestly hasn't been worked on in a while, and most people never bring it up. I think you're the first in months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckp Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 I always wondered what it was and still feel like I don't know what it is or if I would want to use it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SentaiBrad Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 You can click it, then go to the Database, open your account and click My Collection. All it does is show there your games, if they're on the Database. Honestly, it was meant to be way more, but at the time people were very honest in saying they did not want that stuff.

ckp Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 (edited) Still not sure I get it so I tried it, but I just launched it from the LB menu and now it wants me to login. Do I already have a login? Like, is it my forum login? Edit: ok, i just used my email address and told it i forgot my password. The email told me I'm not registered so I'll try registering...

ckp Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 ok, i logged in and it says it's sending my collection. i see virtually no network traffic going out but it's been "syncing" for a few minutes now... getting anxious to see what happens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckp Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 i'm impatient (seems to be doing a sync for a long time) so in my browser i went to view my collection. so far it's crazy weird. i looked at the list of platforms on the left and clicked on Windows. Inside windows are currently up to 5 games, of which, four I've never had and don't even recognize. so, i'm trying to think, would this be cool if it actually mirrored my collection. yeah that seems kind of cool. now i'm wondering, what i would ever do with that and if i would ever look there again? i think i'll click Cancel on Syncing...

ckp Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 it kind of seems like giving it its very own dedicated top level menu in LB is odd. maybe it should be buried in the Tools menu? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SentaiBrad Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 That's all up to Jason, but yea, it hasn't been worked on in a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StuDentBR Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 (edited) It is a interesting feature, i mean it is the best and fastest way to show your game collection to a friend online, at First i thought that this would be a kind of backup which you could use to Sync your collection on diferent machines or back it up from cloud, i was even a bit afraid to Sync And lose my settings so i have saved my data And metadata in a safe place before syncing, but it seems to only upload your data And does not donwload anything. Ahhh some games in collection do not show the covers maybe it is because i use some images that i had to search because they are not in launchbox games data base. Here is my collection, only around 2k games because of the 1Tb limitation of my external hard drive (already planing to get a 2tb one haha) http://gamesdb.launchbox-app.com/collection/games/StuDentBR Edited January 13, 2017 by StuDentBR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
