Does anyone know if I can move all my files out of the cloud files and into my library files? Since I update the studio I seem to have to sets of files with the same names. It's confusing cause if say I want to look in my flowers folder I have to look in both cause some are in the cloud folders and some are in the my library <_<
I only keep the ones that come with the machine's in the library and they're in the local user library my own file's are on an external drive with a backup on another external drive HelenAttachment 194008
I really don't know what i have done Doreen lol. I think that all the stuff i have in the folders are things i have got free and bought from the store. I do remember i made loads of folders to put them all in so i could find then easier but when i upgraded the studio it added cloud and now all the folders have been duplicated into cloud and some of my stuff is in the cloud folders and some are in the local user. I would prefer them all to be together in their folders that i made not separated lol

I have exactly the same and never know where I should look for new stuff I have bought as it doesn't seem to go in both. The total number of files is different.
The designs you get with the machine cant be transferred to the cloud those are the only ones I have in my local library the rest are in the cloud saved on my hardrive and backed up on an external hard drive.
I don't keep mine in the cloud not even the Tuesday freebie only the ones I mention in my previous post Helen but when I first updated to the cloud I had 2 of each file so I had to delete the duplicatesQuote:

To get designs from the Cloud to your Local Folders you need to find the design in your Cloud, open it in Silhouette Studio then go to File and click 'Save As' and then "Save to Library" choose a sub folder in your Local User folder, name the file and click 'OK. A bit long winded as you have to do it file by file. Also a good idea to do backups of your Local Folder if you save lots there and don't have them saved and backed up on your PC.
The Cloud folder is where any files you purchase from the Silhouette Store will be stored by default for free and they can always be recovered as can any of your own designs that you add to the Cloud. There is unlimited storage for all designs purchased from the Store and you get 1GB free for your own designs.
Ok so that makes more sense now. Thanks for explaining that Shirley. I shall set about saving them all to my hard drive and emptying the folders then. I can't be doing with it all disorganised like that :wacko:
Gosh why did they do this to us with this cloud, i had everything so organised before. Now i have tons of stuff to move :(
I would save a screenshot with each of the files (in separate folders) so you know what each file looks like Helen. I really wish they would add a view option like they had in Robomaster so you can see what the actual file isQuote:

I think Studio loads faster with less in the Library anyway. I agree with you Doreen about having a thumbnail viewer, it was a good feature.Quote:

Drat i have a lot of organising to do then lol. I will try and get it all out of my library one day and then place them in folders on my hard drive.

Yes I always back up to an external ;)
I do both, save them to folders on my PC so they are easy to access then they get included in the weekly back up of all my files to an external drive - I have 2 and rotate them weekly so I am not just relying on one if my PC fails.Quote:

I can understand why you do it Shirley it would be a nightmare if you lost all you files and I bet your hubby wouldn't be too pleased to lose all of his work eitherQuote:
