Using Cloud Storage</h3> +<div class="paragraph"><p>The <em>Subsurface</em> maintainer provides a dedicated and +free Internet cloud storage account for users of <em>Subsurface</em> and <em>Subsurface-mobile</em>. +You can use this to store your dive log and to share your data between various computers +and devices. The <em>Subsurface</em> team never accesses your dive data without explicit +permission to do so, the data are not used for any purpose other than providing them to the user who +created them. There are no ads and no harvesting / analysis of the data +stored in the <em>Subsurface Cloud</em> storage. There is no monetization whatsoever.</p></div> +<div class="paragraph"><p><em>Subsurface-mobile</em> is sufficient to do full maintenance of a dive log. In addition you can use the +more advanced features in <em>Subsurface</em> when you have access to a computer while still +being able to work with your dive data when only a mobile device is available.</p></div> +<div class="paragraph"><p>The dive data in the cloud are cached locally on any device or computer that is connected to +the <em>Subsurface Cloud</em> account. +It is easy to create backups of the data (for example in XML format) on the desktop: both mobile +device and desktop keep a local copy of the data so that the dive log is always accessible, even +without Internet connection.</p></div> +<div class="paragraph"><p>To create a <em>Subsurface Cloud</em> account follow these steps:</p></div> +<div class="paragraph"><p>1) Enter an e-mail address and a password in the fields indicated on the screen (see image above). +The e-mail address should be in lower case and the password should contain a combination of +upper and lower case letters and/or numbers.</p></div> +<div class="paragraph"><p>2) Tap the "Sign-in or Register" button.</p></div> +<div class="paragraph"><p>If you have already set +up an account on a different computer or device, simply enter the same credentials here. +<em>Subsurface-mobile</em> will now download your existing dive log data. Once the dive +list has been downloaded from the cloud, <em>Subsurface-mobile</em> usually works only with the the local +copy on the mobile device. This avoids long delays or even failure of operations if there is a bad +(or no) internet connection, a situation fairly common at many dive sites. Remember to manually sync +with the server after making local changes (either by pulling down on the dive list, or by using the +manual sync entry in the Dive management menu entry).</p></div> +<div class="paragraph"><p>3) If this is a new cloud account, a PIN screen will open (see image on right, above). A PIN is e-mailed +to the email address entered in the previous step. Enter this PIN into the field indicated +and tap the <em>Register</em> button. After the PIN has been entered it +is no longer needed - it just proves that this is indeed your email account.</p></div> +<div class="paragraph"><p>At this point a new account for you has been created on the cloud server and access to the cloud is +enabled. In this case the dive list is initially empty. Start entering dives in the dive +log or download dive information from a supported dive computer.</p></div> +<div class="paragraph"><p>Once registered, <em>Subsurface-mobile</em> remembers the cloud credentials and it is not necessary to +provide these again when launching the program.</p></div> +<div class="sidebarblock"> +<div class="content"> +<div class="admonitionblock"> +<table><tr> +<td class="icon"> +<img src="images/icons/important.png" alt="Important" /> +</td> +<td class="content"><strong>Cloud problems: FAQ</strong></td> +</tr></table> +</div> +<div class="paragraph"><p><span class="blue">After filling in the correct information and submitting it, I did not receive a PIN by email</span></p></div> +<div class="olist arabic"><ol class="arabic"> +<li> +<p> +Check <strong>carefully</strong> that didn’t make a spelling mistake in the email address you provided.
