This is not something Silhouette America is forcing users into, it's simply a way to give users more options - namely the ability to easily share your designs between up to 5 devices so you can access them on multiple computers and on whatever devices you have the Silhouette Studio mobile app installed. And even if you decide to upgrade you do NOT need to take advantage of the Cloud. It's also free for up to 1GB of Local User designs.Īlso, you do not HAVE to upgrade to the newest version of Silhouette Studio at this time. Silhouette is NOT going the way of Cricut where you need to have Internet access.Īlso, the Silhouette Cloud is free and unlimited for all designs purchased from the Online Store. I cannot stress enough - you do not need Wifi to access your library, the cloud, or Silhouette Studio once it's synced. BOTH SECTIONS ARE ACCESSIBLE WHILE OFF-LINE AND WITHOUT A WIFI CONNECTION! The only thing that is different is that if you want to move something from the Local User Design section to the Cloud, it won't update/sync until you have a Wifi connection. ![]() Your library now has two main sections: Local User Designs and Cloud Designs. Don't save it to another cloud or a thumb drive.ġ0) Once this is complete all of your designs will be in your library. Save the backup to your computer's hard drive. So here's what you need to do to upgrade to Silhouette Cloud in this order:ġ) Open up Silhouette Studio and BACK UP YOUR LIBRARY!!! If you're not sure how to backup your library read this detailed post on how to export, copy and backup your Silhouette Studio library. But I know some of you are anxious to try this new upgrade and since I'm now comfortable with it - I've gone ahead and upgraded and I'm here to tell you exactly how to do it, too. I still completely understand that some users are going to want to wait it out because there will be bugs that need to be fixed, as with any new technology. ![]() And because of that I became more comfortable and decided.to go ahead and upgrade to get Silhouette Cloud. Initially Silhouette America quietly released the Cloud without any instruction or information other than a 5 word statement which basically stated the Cloud feature was now included in the latest version of Silhouette Studio Version 3.7 With just that limited information I recommended Silhouette users wait until more information was released.įortunately, Silhouette America has done just that - releasing a rather lengthy FAQ to help users understand. While the new release of the Silhouette Cloud in the latest version of Silhouette Studio is getting a lot of talk, it's nothing to be too scared of especially now that Silhouette America has released more information. ![]() So I updated to the new version of Silhouette Studio which includes the Silhouette Cloud.and guess what it didn't take all day (just 20-30 minutes actually), it didn't cause me any more gray hairs, and it still have ALL my files!
