Cloud Sync Server Purge Coming Soon
The Ape Apps Cloud Sync server is about due for a maintenance purge and reset. As you may know, the Cloud Sync service is meant as way to sync saves between devices only, not as a long-term storage solution, although I know many users utilize and rely on it as such. Unfortunately, the way it is designed does not lend itself well to long-term storage, and periodically needs to be cleaned out and optimized.
I am in the process of rebuilding the Cloud service from scratch, moving it to a bigger server with more storage, and also allowing permanent save data storage for Ape Apps Gold members. The new server setup is going to be so different though, that it is not really feasible to transfer all of the old cloud sync data over.
Over the next few months therefore, I will be migrating all of my apps and games over to the new Ape Cloud server. This will be done on a per-app basis instead of all at once. So from this point forward, as an app or game gets updated, it will be moved over to the new cloud server, meaning that more frequently updated (popular) apps and games will make the transition first.
So if you rely on cloud sync, it is important that you make backups of your data. In most instances, it should be enough for you to just open your files and view/save them, as local copies are always stored on your device as well. For more important items, you might want to save a local copy for peace of mind.
You can also install the Ape Web Apps Desktop Bridge (either the PWA or desktop client) and spin up your own private cloud instance on your own computer. This tool lets you specify a folder on your computer as your private cloud storage and is now supported by almost my entire library. If you have only one private cloud instance set up on your account, it will be automatically selected as your default in pretty much any of my apps and games. As long as you are signed in to your Ape Apps Account, your apps and games can save to your own private cloud folder from anywhere you have an internet connection.
So that is what is up, let me know if you have any questions!
