Cloud Sync

Keep your study materials synchronized across all your devices seamlessly.

How Cloud Sync Works

Automatic Synchronization

Changes you make on one device are automatically: 1. Uploaded to Brainy's servers 2. Downloaded to your other devices 3. Merged with your local data

This ensures your study progress stays current across all devices.

Getting Started with Sync

Email Verification

Before using sync: 1. Set up an account and log in 2. Verify your email address via the verification code that you can enter in the app 3. Sync functionality becomes available

Enable Auto-Sync

In Settings, enable these options for automatic synchronization: Sync on Startup and on close — Sync when you open the app and when you close the app.

Sync Conflict Resolution

Last-Write-Wins Strategy

If you modify the same card on two devices before they sync: - The version with the most recent timestamp wins - Earlier changes are overwritten - Example: If you edit a card on your phone, then your laptop (without syncing first), the laptop's version becomes the official version

Best Practice: Sync frequently to avoid accidental data loss.
