I just discovered that I can synchronize my Desktop Collection to both iPad and Android through DVD Profiler Online. Much better than direct "share". My questions are:

- if I upload desktop, and upload Android, what will prevail? Last upload? Will lose the previous upload? Or does it "combine" uploads"?

- Is there a way to prompt for Sync to Online the same way there is to make a backup?

Thanks.

This kind of "syncing" is hardly useful, as it only gives you an uneditable copy of the database on your mobile device.  To be truly cloud-based, we have to be able to edit on any device anytime, with all changes instantly viewable on all devices.  You take this forum post.  I can view it and edit it on any device anywhere anytime.  There needs to be paradigm shift in the design of DVDP in order to have this happen.

The sync needs to be automatic - the old manual sync process is too error prone (syncing the "wrong" way accidentally) and should be completely unnecessary in a cloudy world.  What I would like to see is the ability for each instance of DVD Profiler - whether PC, Phone or Tablet based - to query the online master and download changes each time it starts up.

Updates (device -> online) to the online database should require a sign-in or only be allowed from an "administrator" device.  That way multiple devices stay up to date - this is how the world works these days.

I love having DVD Profiler on my Nexus Android, it's wonderful and I'm using it a lot more than I used to - but then I use my phone a lot more too - now if we can just get the syncing to be automatic.

Agree with scotthm on that one!
