Filemaker Go: Working Offline

[Sean]

Hi guys!

First post please go easy on me if I ask silly questions haha! So I'm developing a FM Go app for one of my friends, now he sells things at roadshows, conventions so on and so forth.

My question is, if for example, he has no Wifi/3G. How does he go about "syncing" or "uploading" the new data he has collected offline, to the database on the network in the office?

Sorry if it seems unclear, I'm relatively new to this sort of thing. Thanks in advance, Sean.

Welcome, Sean.

There are few sync packages out there: GoZync, MirrorSync and the open source EasySync.

Either one of those is probably your best bet to avoid having to spend a lot of time rolling your own...
