Meural Canvas II storage
I have 3 Meural canvas II's and have added images to all 3. Do the images actually get stored in the device or just on the cloud? In other words, if I turn off the wifi in my home, will the canvas ...
I gave up on support. I just got SD cards from Best Buy and configured the canvas to pull from the SD cards instead of the cloud.
How much extra storage does that give you?
- Depends on the size off the SD cards. I used 64 gb cards. So far I have 400 pictures on one, 250 on one, and 200 on a third.
I have run out of space and still plan to have our wedding and several vacations on the canvas. I would hope they would up the amount of cloud storage or allow us to buy more. I filled up my 20 gb in 6 weeks and I am just getting started.
So you have three cards. Is it easy to switch to the SD cards from the app or laptop?
I created a folder on my desktop and the drag the image files into the folder. When I have all the images in the folder, I insert an SD card into my laptop. I navigate to the SD card and create a folder called meural1 (required by the canvas operating system). Then I copy the contents of the folder I created on my desktop into the meural1 folder on the SD card. Once the files have been copied, I remove the SD card from the laptop, I power down the canvas, I insert the SD card into the canvas, I wait 20 seconds, and then I turn the canvas back on.
I did have to contact netgear first and I had them remove all the images from my cloud account. If there are images in the cloud account, the canvas will pull from the cloud instead of from the SD card. It took me a bunch of calls to support to finally get everything working but once it does, its pretty nice.
