During the example we would like to store to the cloud the saved status data of a game named BLOOD, year 1997. For cloud-based file storage we use DropBox.
Paths used in the example:
- BLOOD game: d:\games\GOG.com\One Unit Whole Blood\
- DropBox folder: c:\Users\voji\Dropbox\
Open the folder you wish to synchronize (d:\games\GOG.com\One Unit Whole Blood\). Choose one of the saved status files having .SAV extension, then drag and drop it to the job list of the SyncToCloud application.
TIPP: if you doesn’t know the save file extension, or path, use following commands:
DOS:
tree /F > out1.txtLinux:
ls -R > out1.txtSave the output without savegame (out1.txt). Start game, save, exit. Run this command again, but change output to out2.txt. See the files difference (linux diff utility, winmerge, or total commander – compare by content function).
On the pop-up window open the dialog window to edit task data, using the “Edit task” button.
Choose the cloud folder, e.g. c:\Users\voji\Dropbox\save_games\blood
Save the task and the job belonging to it.
Start the first synchronization by clicking on the “Start processing” button.
