It is possible and recommended to set up local backups in the desktop app, especially when working offline.
NOTE: On iOS local backups are automatically placed in the iCloud Folder Arc Studio Pro inside the Files app.
To set up your local back-up, go to the Desk, and open the Settings Menu.
- Select “Profile” on the left
- Click "Choose local backup directory".
3. Create or choose an existing folder on your hard drive.
Your account will now show the directory where your files are backed up:
Please note, you can only back up files locally from the Arc Studio Pro desktop application.
Local backups should happen immediately, but they require at least 1 new line to be inserted (just typing on an existing line does not trigger a backup). We also take backups whenever you exit a script (either to the desk or by closing the app), or – if you're offline – at regular intervals.
