How to disable sync feature? If not possible I will not be using the Shapr3D any more. You have no right to force the users to share their files in the cloud.

As the 30 days off-load is now released I am blocking all sync and doing my work only on macOS (no big deal, as none of my iPads cope with the size of projects I am working with). The iOS environment will be for sketches and ideas manually exported and imported if needed. (Btw, my office runs fire-…

Hi, I was about to update the latest version of shap3d… Curiously, I took the time to read the “novelties”… And here I fall from the « clouds » because it is specified that this last update will synchronize my work and my data in the cloud. I say it very clearly, this is unacceptable, The cloud …

Up to date again from .900 in my test bed. I spared myself from manually setting and downloading all projects nested in all folders.

To update from ≤5.900 t…

Please include an instant download in the ’Globally Keep Downloaded’ to be back to ‘GO’.

Sure, but only because you said please.

Hello Shapr3D Team and Community, I really like Shapr3D and use it for professional work, but the current automatic cloud sync is causing me serious issues. My projects are very large, and every time I open the app, it immediately starts syncing and completely slows down my internet connection. Thi…

I believe the new update addressed this issue. Keep project downloaded check. [image]

I am not sure if it will (if I understand the issue correctly). Though the new option is good, occasionally I need to ‘cut off’ S3D from com.
