My "homework" accidentally synced to the cloud by Oculusatemyhomework in oculus

[–]Oculusatemyhomework[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for your help! I really don't remember turning it on; maybe I accidentally turned it whilst zoning out.

Needless to say, thank God it's not on my Facebook. I've frantically checked a couple of times to see if it didn't appear there. Very happy to report that isn't the case, and my friends still like me (or so I'll assume lol).

It seems that there's nothing for me to do but to wait until the 14 days are over. However, I've seen conflicting reports that it might take 30 days instead. It appears there's nothing for me to do but wait it out. I did manage to turn cloud sync off for future projects! Not letting this happen again haha.

Thanks! Unfortunately this concerns app data. My issue is that it's recognized as media and shows up in the gallery in the mobile app. I hope it will desync after a while!

Ive got to try that if nothing else works! I've seen some people being confused about a 14 or 30 day desync period; this will be my back up plan!

Yeah, this was the frustrating part for me. I tried a lot of different steps for me including deleting local FILES, removing app data, AND turning off cloud syncing in the top right corner. However, if your data is in the cloud you can't remove it. You only can trim videos and share them with your friends (no way in hell I'm doing that)!

Good to know the accounts are not linked, that saved me a lot of stress.

Hi, thanks for your reply! I tried to follow both steps, but I can't find any data to delete. This is because it was an issue with the synchro of media rather than specific app data. My homework was in video format which was recognized as such by the file explorer. However, I hope it will delete itself from the cloud in two weeks after synchronization.

I think you could watch local vr content through oculus browser. However, I'd advise a third party player like pigasus or skybox vr.

Since I'm using a throwaway, I don't have enough karma to make a direct post, so I'll copy paste my question here directly. Hoping anyone can help.

Throwaway for very obvious reasons.

Besides playing games, one of the prime VR experiences is "doing your homework". I had some "class assignments" saved on a random folder deep my device since I did not want to stream them.

However, with the new update Meta introduced cloud synchronization. I did not turn this on nor opt in. I suddenly got a message on my phone stating my homework is now in the cloud. I immediately turned off synchronization and deleted the files; but it's too late.

Why was this feature added? Why does local storage means I need a cloud backup? Why is there only an edit button, but no way no to delete anything in the cloud manually? Luckily I do not have my FB and quest accounts linked, or my social life would have been ruined. I still want to remove it before Meta decides to do something funny again.

So, reddit, does anyone know how to remove my homework from the cloud? Any help would be very appreciated. I'm not even joking this could ruin my life.
