Is there a limit on the file size that can be saved to the cloud? My file is 35mb and saves but isn't there to open on my Tablet.

You’ll have to select the right search criteria when opening on your tablet. Or, use the My Robot Apps option. And ensure you’re logged in with same account
I am saving my program to the Cloud in the usual manner with the same login I've always used. I get the message that it has been saved but it does not appear under My Files. See attached screens dumps.
I'll have to take a closer look as to what's going on there. Thank you for the screenshots - that's very convincing something is up!
There is of course the warning message that my file exceeds 35mb but is this really that big? The only way I can reduce the size is to remove my MP3 files which limits the functionality of the robot. I need the Mobile Interface App working on my tablet for a presentation in a few weeks. Here's hoping...
The problem is likely the file size. As soon as I remove a bunch of MP3s, the file size is small enough to be saved and opened on the cloud. ARC needs to give a message that the file is NOT saved if it exceeds a certain size.
Arc does . ARC is no longer in development. ARC file size for the cloud is 64mb
So... I also have a very large project that has a LOT of MP3's in it. I haven't been able to save to the cloud for years. Does anyone have a strategy to be able to save projects this large to the cloud? For example, could I cut out the MP3's somehow temporally and just save the rest of the project then re-insert the MP3's?
I haven't tried this but just off the top of my head I'm thinking perhaps using the merge function. Marge all the soundboards showing the MP3's into a new project, delete the mp3's from the project to be saved, save the project to the cloud then merge the new project mp3's back into the old (now saved to the cloud) project.
My example seems like a clunky and dangerous approach. I think the above approve would have to be done very carefully and double checked before any files could be deleted.
Any thoughts?
I have a couple of thoughts. You can play audio files directly from a PC (laptop or surface pro). However I think sound servos would not work. Secondly, you can use an MP3 Trigger that stores all your MP3 files on a microSD card. Refer... https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/MP3-Trigger/132738784357?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649 The MP3 Trigger is attached to your controller on the robot, so no need to have the files included in your program.
Thanks. I used the MP3 trigger in my robot years ago. It worked flawlessly. However I removed it to uncomplicate my robot as I figured the integrated sound capabilities of ARC and EZB were better. I may have to revisit this to see if I'd be better off taking a step backwards. I think the only drawback is that the amount of sound files are limited to 256. I think I have more then that.
I tried to save my 49Mb project to the Cloud using ARC, but it gave the following error message... The request failed with HTTP status 413: Request entity too large. I thought the file size limit with ARC was 64mb?
This has now been resolved by Synthiam.
Also, if you have the latest Early Access build, the memory usage of large projects has been improved.
a new mobile app update with similar changes will be released soon as well
