163. Switching devices / transferring data (with Dropbox)

There are several ways to transfer data between devices in ibisPaint.
Via Dropbox: The file transfer process is easy to understand. You can transfer files using mobile data, but we recommend using Wi-Fi if you are transferring a large number of artwork files. Please note that only your artwork files will be transferred.
Via SD card (Android): Use an SD card to copy your artwork files. Both devices (the device containing the data and the device to which the data will be transferred) must run on Android.
Via PC (iOS):Use iTunes to copy your artwork files. Both devices (the device containing the data and the device to which the data will be transferred) must run on iOS.

Here, we will explain how you can transfer artworks data using Dropbox. Since you need an internet connection to use Dropbox, we recommend using Wi-Fi instead of mobile data, especially if you have a large number of artwork files to transfer. Unlike other methods, you can use Dropbox to transfer files between devices with different operating systems (e.g. Android to iOS and vice versa). It is also the easiest method of transferring artwork files. First, navigate to an application store such as the Google Play Store (Android) or the App Store (iOS) and download Dropbox. Create a Dropbox account at https://www.dropbox.com/, and log in to the Dropbox app once you have finished creating your account.

Go to My Gallery and tap on the ① Artwork you want to back up.

Tap the ① Share button and select the ② ibisPaint Artwork (IPV) file type.

Select ① Dropbox on the share screen.
If you do not see Dropbox there, tap on ② More and look for Dropbox.

Select the folder you want to save your file to and tap ① Upload. Repeat this procedure for each artwork file you want to back up.

Next, follow the above instructions to install Dropbox on the device you are backing up to and log in to the Dropbox app. Tap on the ① ibisPaint artwork (IPV) file you want to save.

The message “.ipv files can’t be previewed” will be displayed. Tap on ① ….

Tap on ① Save to device.

Select the ① designated application. If you do not see the application, tap on ② More and select it there.

Your restored artwork files can be found in My Gallery in ibisPaint. If you back up multiple artwork files, repeat the same procedure for each of them to save your artwork files to ibisPaint from Dropbox.
Although the method explained here is intended for users who are switching devices, it can also be used to transfer artwork files from tablet to smartphone or vice versa so that you can continue working on a different device.

After exporting your artwork files to Dropbox, you can also select ① Share to get a shareable link to your ibisPaint artwork file (IPV), which you can post on social media platforms to share your file with your friends. Use this link and enjoy collaborating with your friends to create artworks together!
