Cloud Synchronization User Manual

IMPORTANT! Please take a backup of your data before activating Cloud Sync and copy your backup somewhere safe.

MoBill Cloud Synchronization (Cloud Sync) syncs your data between your devices and allows sharing with other users devices if you give them an access. The up-to-date data is stored on our secure cloud server and you can also access your data through web app at https://app.mobillbudget.co.uk from any computer. The Cloud Sync feature requires the Premium Subscription and it has to be activated manually after activating Premium Subscription.

Please note that activating Premium Subscription does not automatically activate the Cloud Sync and it requires manual activation through Cloud Sign-in screen.

The data is synced automatically but the sync process can also be initiated manually through Cloud Sync menu option in MoBill. The automatic sync is activated when you activate Cloud Sync but it can be turned off through Cloud Sign-in screen.

1. CREATE CLOUD ACCOUNT AND UPLOAD INITIAL DATA

To activate Cloud Sync first time you have to create your Cloud account and set your Cloud password.

IMPORTANT! Use the device with the most up-to-date data to create your cloud account as the data in the device will be uploaded to the cloud server as your initial data!!!

To create your cloud account and upload your data please follow the steps below:

1. Go to menu=>Cloud Sign-in screen. It will display your active order number and email address which will be your cloud account user name

You can check your cloud data through the web app at https://app.mobillbudget.co.uk by signing in with your email address and your Cloud password.

2. LINKING NEW DEVICE

To link another device to your Cloud Sync, you just need to sign in your cloud account from that device. Please make sure you have your AdFree Subscription activated on the device as Cloud Sync requires Premium Subscription.

IMPORTANT! Linking a device to an existing Cloud Sync account WIPES all of the data in that device first.

To link another device, please follow the steps below:

1. Go to menu=>Cloud Sign-in screen. It will display your active order number and email address which must be same with your Cloud account.
2. Enter your cloud password into both password fields
3. Our server will validate your Premium Subscription and your password
4. If the validation is successful, all of the data in your Sync account will be downloaded to your device

3. SHARE WITH ANOTHER USER

Cloud Sync allows you to share and sync your data with other users that already have an Premium Subscription. This way you and shared user will have a shared budget and will sync the data between each other automatically.

IMPORTANT! When you add another account into the share, they will lose any data they entered under their account.

1. If a share account has already got a Cloud account and activated Cloud Sync they should be sign out their Cloud account first by taping Unlink button on menu=>Cloud Sign-in screen.
2. Go to https://app.mobillbudget.co.uk and login your account
3. Go to Settings page
4. Press Add Share button and type the email address of the share account. The server will validate the Premium Subscription for the entered email address. Following the successful validation, the email address will be added into the Cloud Sync Shared Users section. Now share account can sign in through Cloud Sign-in screen in MoBill and start accessing the data.

4. SYNCING YOUR DATA

You can sync your data automatically as well as manually. An Auto Sync activated device sends the updated data to the cloud server automatically and receives any changes from the server automatically.

Auto Sync is activated when you link your device with your Cloud account. However, you can also turn it on/off through Auto Sync flag on the Cloud Registration screen. If you turn Auto Sync off, it also stops the device from receiving the changes automatically.

IMPORTANT! Auto Sync requires internet connection on the device in which the data changed. If you update any data while there is no internet connection Auto Sync does not start or schedule the sync process. Thus you will need to start the synchronization manually by choosing menu=>Cloud Sync option once you have an internet connection.

Auto Sync schedules the data transfer based on 30-second window. A 30-second sync window starts when you make any changes to your data. At the end of 30-second window, your data is synchronized with the cloud server automatically providing you have an internet connection. Any additional data change within the 30-second window is also included into the sync process.

Although Auto Sync updates your data automatically, you can run manual Cloud Sync any time if you want to make sure your device is up-to-date.

IMPORTANT! Cloud Sync uses first-sync-wins conflict resolution. If the same transaction is updated on two devices, the update in the first synchronized device overrides the others. For example, you mark your bill as paid on your phone and update its amount on your tablet. If you sync your phone, the tablet will lose the updated amount and will get the bill marked as paid.

5. FORGOT PASSWORD

If you forget the password for your Cloud account, you will need to reset it through the Forgot Your Password link on the web app login page at https://app.mobillbudget.co.uk. As the passwords are encrypted with 1-way function, we cannot see or recover the passwords. When you follow password reset link and complete the form, you will receive an email with a single-use password reset link which is valid for a limited period of time. You can reset your password by following the link.

6. DELETING YOUR CLOUD ACCOUNT
