Export to other formats can be achieved through third party facilities, for instance _www.divelogs.de_. +[[S_Cloud_access]] +== _Subsurface_ in the Cloud + +For each diver, dive log information is highly important. Not only is it a record +of diving activities for one's own pleasure, but it is important information required +for admission to further training courses or (sometimes) even diving sites. The +security of the dive log is therefore critical. In order to have a dive log that is +resistant to failure of a home computer hard drive, loss or theft of equipment, the +Cloud is an obvious solution. This also has the added benefit that one can access one's dive +log from anywhere in the world without having to carry it with oneself. For this +reason, facilities such as _divelogs.de_ and _Diving Log_ offer facilities to store +dive log information on the Internet. Although _Subsurface_ does not offer integrated +Cloud storage of dive logs, it is simple to achieve this using several of the +existing facilities on the Internet. + +For instance +http://www.dropbox.com/[_Dropbox_] +offers a free application that allows +files on the Dropbox servers to be seen as a local folder on one's desktop computer. + +image::images/Cloud.jpg["FIGURE: Dropbox folder",align="center"] + +Currently there are not costs involved for this service. In this +case, one can store one's dive log on _Dropbox_ in a totally seamless way: a dive log in +one's _Dropbox_ folder can be opened and saved directly by _Subsurface_ and it can +be accessed from any place with Internet access. Dropbox (Windows, Mac +and Linux) can be installed by accessing the +http://www.dropbox.com/install[_Install Page on the Dropbox website_] +. Alternatively one can use _Dropbox_ as a mechanism to backup one's dive log. To +Store a dive log in the Cloud, select _File->Save as_ from the _Subsurface_ main menu, +navigate to the _Dropbox_ folder and select the _Save_ button. To access the dive log +in the Cloud, select _File->Open Logbook_ from the _Subsurface_ +main menu and navigate to the dive log file in the _Dropbox_ folder and select the +_Open_ button. + + [[S_PrintDivelog]] == Printing a dive log
