Linking a profile to a Google account and backing it up

You can link a Mind Express user profile to his or her Google account and upload it there as a backup.

Backed-up profiles are marked in the list of profiles with the icon (via Menu > Change profile).

After performing this procedure in the Google Drive of the selected Google account, you can check that there is a Mind Express folder containing a new backup folder for this profile.

If you return to this profile's Cloud settings after carrying out this procedure, you can share the profile with another user, for example with an instructor. The instructor can then download this profile and add, delete or change pagesets, pages or cells. The instructor can choose when he or she uploads these changes. These changes are logged.

  1. Go to the profile's portal or pageset.
  2. Choose Menu > Settings.
  3. Choose My Profile.
  4. Choose the Cloud settings tab.
  5. If the profile is already linked to a Google account, go to step 10.
  6. In the Cloud settings options group, in Create backup, choose Sign in with Google.
    A new tab opens in your default browser.
  7. In your browser, select the Google Account you want to use for backing up.
  8. In your browser, you MUST give all requested permissions and finally confirm them all again.
    You will be notified via your Google Account's Gmail and asked to confirm again that you have actually given permission. Give your permission once again.
  9. Close your browser window and return to Mind Express.
    After some time, the profile is linked to the Google account and the first backup has been made. This will be specified with the Backup status.
  10. Choose one of the following options to create new backups:
    • A manual backup: choose Create a new backup.
    • An automatic daily backup: in Automatic backup, choose Yes and in Every day at set the time in hh:mm, for example 18:45. To do this, Mind Express must be active and logged in with this user. Otherwise, the backup will be executed automatically at the next log-in with this user.
  11. Choose OK.
