Transferring a Report Using the Cloud
Note: The transfer limit is set to 600 MB. This is to prevent timeouts during the cloud transfer process. There is currently no way to increase this limit.
Using the HG Cloud (part of the HG Services) you can easily transfer reports between computers and devices without the hassle of manually copying files.
- In your HG Companion, click HG Services > Send Report to Cloud. Select the report you'd like to transfer and click transfer.
- On your other computer or device go to HG Services > Get Report from Cloud. Select the report and click download.
- Go to Open Reports and you will see it in the list.
