Disabling Sync or leaving the Shapr3D

No, I didn’t toggle… Honestly, it’s a bit too scary when I read the problem some of you have.
I don’t trust any cloud (and I never will ) even with the most secure standards. I turned this Option off since the beginning, so I don’t know if a “go back” is possible for me.
:\

It’ a reference, Hotel California, by Eagles. It means you can’t turn off sync once you turned it on, I suppose

Unfortunately, the easy way to do a .sh file with /usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c, does not perform Set on containers; some more (file swap) code is needed. There should be people in the community who are happy to do this if it’s needed :wink:

Ai yai yai! Hipsters! :grinning_face:

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-drills and down-drill every third month, only working with the intranet, detecting problems and what is calling home to frequently. Preparing for a downtime.)

Update

Well… that did not turn out well…

I edited pfile, upgraded, and blocked all com [to be safe]. Shaper then deleted all older files in a silent sweep - forcing me to be dependent on the ISP/net/servers.

Returning to 5.900.0 (9124) and restoring all workspaces from backup. Our other (paid) workstations are now frozen on 5.900.0 (9124).

Update

All good, back on a well behaved version. All ‘old’ 600 (40GB) projects restored intact.

At least, the now, self-deleting-mechanism, could had identified that I had no com when I upgraded… but no.

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 is absolutely not a secure place and will never be… there have been enough scandals and leaks in this area.

My iPad is synchronized with my MacBookpro which itself is automatically backed up with Time Machine. So we don’t need this option.

If this situation does not change, I will spend my €300 per year elsewhere…

For the moment, I am therefore choosing not to update my software anymore,
:confused:
