Sync Guide
OwnSpace stores all your notes locally in your browser. Cloud sync allows you to:
- Back up your notes to the cloud
- Restore your data if you clear browser storage
Supported Providers
| Provider | Status |
|---|---|
| Yandex Disk | Supported |
| Google Drive | Supported |
| Dropbox | In development |
| OneDrive | In development |

Setting Up Sync
- Go to Settings
- Scroll to the Cloud Providers section
- Select a provider from the dropdown
- Enter your credentials (or authenticate via OAuth)
- Click Connect
For OAuth providers (Yandex Disk, Google Drive), you will be redirected to the provider's login page. After granting access, you will return to the app.
How Sync Works
- Changes are queued locally and synced when a connection is available
- Sync runs automatically after each change (create, edit, delete, rename)
- The sync status indicator in the sidebar shows the current state
Sync Queue
The sync queue shows pending operations. You can view it in Settings under Sync queue:
- Clear queue — removes all pending operations
- Retry errors — retries failed operations
- Clear errors — removes only failed operations
Local Export (ZIP)
If you prefer not to use a cloud provider, you can export all your notes as a ZIP file from the Settings page. This creates a complete backup you can save anywhere.
Troubleshooting
Sync indicator shows "Offline": Check your internet connection.
Changes not syncing: Verify the provider is connected in Settings. Check the sync queue for errors.
