Uploading Data

How do I upload my data to luckycloud?

Feel free to watch this luckycloud tutorial to learn how to easily create a new directory in luckycloud.

After successfully installing the Sync Client, you can log in for the first time with your luckycloud credentials. Choose the "Simple Setup" to get started immediately. You can now begin uploading and synchronizing data. Entire folder structures can be easily transferred to the cloud and synchronized via "Drag & Drop":

    1. Select a folder on your computer.
    2. Drag the folder into the lower field of the Sync Client. Or click on the "Plus" to select a folder from your computer. Alternatively, select the robot icon and then click on the first option "Synchronize local folder and cloud directory".
    3. (Optional) Encrypt the directory by entering a password. This way, directories are end-to-end encrypted. Only people with the corresponding key can access the directory.

Note: Please note that encryption results in the following limitations:

  • You cannot create external links.
  • Only entire directories can be shared (no subfolders).
  • Online editing of documents is no longer possible.
    4. Confirm the dialog window that appears.

Once the border of the directory in the client turns green, synchronization is complete. All changes you make in the synchronized folders from now on will be automatically transferred to the cloud. If the directory lights up gray or red, changes cannot be synchronized, or there is another error.

Note: Please remember that the Sync Client must be open in the background for the synchronization process.

In addition to the Sync Client, there are other ways to upload your data to luckycloud:

Due to functionality and security, we generally recommend using the Sync Client. Here you can find more information about the Sync Client.
