For Hero Lab usage, what would be the best cloud service (similar to dropbox) that could be used?
Does Amazon Drive work with Hero Lab? Last edited by Quintain; December 12th, 2017 at 09:46 AM. |

I (ab)use Google Drive, Drive File Stream is a wonder of the future in my book, but every now and then, portfolio saving fails two or three times, so I just keep hitting the Save button 'til it clears.

Anyone else have any recommendations for a cross-platform cloud service that they know works with Hero Lab?
Does dropbox still work? |

HL app now works with the iOS Cloud Service features of iOS 11+. This means any cloud service app that correctly reports its self as a cloud service app to the iPad can be used.
Yes Dropbox is fully supported and my group continuous to use it and iCloud. The big DIFFERENCE is that its not as seamless anymore. You must copy to and from the cloud service now. So you import the .por from the cloud service to a local iPad copy. You play the game/session and at the end of the game you have to "export" the file back to the cloud service to allow other devices (ie windows) to use the file. This process is no longer done automatically like with the old Dropbox API. If a "cloud" service is NOT displaying in the iPad app browse window. Please START the cloud service app and make sure its "updated" and you have signed into it. Doing this has fixed my players cloud services to make them appear. Hope that helps.

I use MS OneDrive, but I my entire RPG content sync'd between the cloud and 3 computers (desktop, Tablet, laptop). This way no matter what I do, it is the same on all systems.

That's pretty much my intent. Plan to upload my entire PDF library and Hero lab portfolios/.hl files for use between systems.

I am a 365 subscriber so I have OneDrive. I refuse to use any google product, especially their cloud. I still remember reading their terms of use, dictating to me that they suddenly gained and owned the rights to anything I saved on it. Deleting my Gmail account and waving goodbye to android was a great day. No idea what I am going to do when my W10 phone no longer works. /sigh Exmortis aka "Scott" RW - Needs Rez spell HL - Game Master/Designer RPG Tools - Campaign Cartographer 3+, D20 Pro Ultimate Real Life - IT Security Hobby - Anything on water or ATV |

Not to nitpick, but have you ever read any of MS Word's EULA? Technically it could be read that anything you make with that is MS's property.
Although I don't think there has been a court case testing EULA's fully. Paul "Yes that Paul" Grosse PCGen BoD - PR Silverback Forums: Nylanfs (or Nylan) Hero Lab Shadowrun 4E & 5e user |
