Status indicators provide information about the sync process
The sync arrows show the sync direction. A blue arrow shows that data is being sent
from your cloud store and a yellow arrow shows that data is being received. If data
is being sent and received at the same time, then a blue and yellow arrow will be
displayed. A gray arrow indicates when data is not being synced in that direction.
The percentage figure to the right of the sync arrows shows the current status of the
sync progress.
Click on the ‘edit sync’ indicator to change the sync folder name and location.
Click on this indicator to delete the sync location. In the confirmation dialog box,
click ‘continue’ to confirm or ‘cancel’ to abort the deletion.
Ingest and Backup
The two USB-C ports on the Blackmagic Cloud Store can be used for loading and
backup of files.
If you connect a media card reader or a USB-C disk to the ingest port, then all files on that disk
will be loaded into the cloud store.
Backup is also important and while online services are a good backup solution, by connecting
a USB disk to the backup port, you can do local backups without any ongoing costs and with
total privacy. It works with a USB-C disk, or even large USB-C disk arrays. The latest files
will be loaded first and the Blackmagic Cloud Store will keep backing up for as long as the
disk is connected.
