Synchronising from different tablets

Post by claudia »

Hi,

in my survey I use one questionnaire on five different tablets (for five different interviewers). I want the collected data to be sent to dropbox to be certain it doesn't get lost. In order to do this, do I need five different dropbox accounts or is one enough? Also, I want to make sure that data only gets added to dropbox and not taken away (if cases get erased on the tablet). Is this the default way of functioning or do I need to specify this somehow?

Many thanks!

You can use one Dropbox account or you can use multiple accounts. Either will work fine, as multiple people can sync to the same Dropbox account.

If a case is deleted, when synced, it will be marked as deleted during the Dropbox sync. However, when you download the data file using Data Viewer, you can use the "Show All Cases" option to show the deleted cases.
