FAQ

1. What is the difference between device app and a client app?

   All the cloud apps (gmail, dropbox ...) consist of two parts server (device) and client (mobile, desktop). Server contains all the logic and is much more complex to create and run. Client is an app which is used by a user to interact with Server.

2. What encryption is used:

   Device always uses https so connection between you and device is encrypted. Device data itself is not encrypted, so you should dlnot allow physical access to non-trusted people.

3. What micro SD card is used for?

   It is used for booting the device (boot partition) as most arm devices cannot boot directly from usb or SATA. Also it is used as internal disk (unless your device is equipped with internal SSD disk) which holds system files and is a default file storage for the apps. File storage disk can be selected in the storage settings and it can use only one disk at a time.

4. External disk (file storage).

   Syncloud provides file storage for all the apps and by default it ia located on internal disk. Users can select location of file storage between internal or external disk using storage settings section. On top of this feature apps like Nextcloud allow attaching additional external storage.
