Posting here because I believe the subject deserves its own thread (hopefully I didn’t overlook an existing one, apologies if so). My suggestions below are only for single user, multiple computer situations. Please feel free to chime in if you have other suggestions or things that I have overlooked. Similarly, if you’re managing data for a team or multiple people, feel free to post your workflow suggestions and/or challenges with those situations (I can’t answer them, but maybe someone else will).
Basically, anyone that works with their Mychron data for any amount of time has probably wanted to at least share the data between two computers at one time or other (even if it is just to migrate from an old computer to a newer one).
I’ve tried a few things over the years. One thing I can tell you not to do is to try and put the whole RS3 in the cloud and do it that way. You may think that it works for a while, but eventually…kablooey. (though it probably could work fine put only "C:\AIM_SPORT\RaceStudio3\user\data" on a cloud drive and symlink to it on each computer, but I’m not going to describe that for sake of simplicity and reliability [and if you do happen to try this, know that you may need to let RS3 know that the files are there by manually importing them - RS3 doesn’t actually seem to scan the user/data directory on startup])
For my purposes, the Aim Cloud is too small with the free account, and to pay for it is overkill for my purposes, especially since I have something workable. Though I can imagine, especially once multiple drivers are involved, that it could be a good option if an extra expense. All workflow suggestions, AiM Cloud or not, are welcome.
Anyway, here’s what I do to manage data between my two computers:
TO SHARE SESSION DATA BETWEEN COMPUTERS
Get data for the track day(s) desired by going to "C:\AIM_SPORT\RaceStudio3\user\data" on the device it was downloaded on to. Then transfer that data to the other device(s) and get RS3 to import them by either clicking the .xrk file that exists for each session or importing them from within RS3 itself (either way can work).
TO SHARE APP SETTINGS BETWEEN COMPUTERS
Open the profile manager from the RS3 analysis home screen. On the far left hand side of the RS3 Analysis app window click the icon that says, “Change Analysis Profile Settings”, then choose “Profile Manager” from the dropdown, and then select to export the profile to your drive. Locate where the exported file is located and transfer it to the other computer, then import on the other computer by reversing the steps above (again, all done within the profile manager).
Sorry for the strikethrough mess above, but after a conversation below I realized that for most people there is better way than the way listed above.
) You can put all the data in a cloud drive without a problem. That will import your data into the cloud drive and you can let it handle the syching. Then when you go to the next computer, you can either import just hose files or pick the whole folder/subfolders. Only the new files will be imported.
