Dear HarmonySite administrator,
Some of you are using the neat HarmonySite feature of linking in a folder from either Google Drive or Dropbox to a SONG in your Song Library. We've just released a new capability for the App: All the files in such linked folders can now be accessed through the App.
For those that don't know what this means: If you have a set of files (e.g. PDF sheet music + MP3 learning tracks) that you want to attach to a song, then there are a couple of different ways of doing that...
- Upload each file to the to song's page (this is the most common way of doing it), or
- If the files are already sitting in a shared Google Drive or Dropbox folder, you can simply LINK that folder to the song
The second option has a couple of advantages...
- It's much faster to connect the files to the song
- The files don't take up any space in your HarmonySite account, meaning you're less likely to reach your account quota (1000 Meg) and require our "Unlimited Storage" option
It looks like this, on a song's page...
DROPBOX
GOOGLE DRIVE
Up until now, the files in those linked folders could not be accessed via the App. Our legendary App developer Chris has found a way to make this happen, so now all such files are viewable/playable within the App.
Notes
- You WILL need to update your copy of the App to the latest version (1.90.0)
- Box.com integration is not yet done
- Loading each of these files in the App will be a little slower than regular files
- Only the files in the specific linked folder can be accessed - NOT files in sub-folders.
If there are any issues with the above (or any aspect of the App), please report them directly to Chris (chris@harmonysite.com). Be sure to always let Chris know the name of your group, whether your phone is Apple or Android, and the version of the App you're running.
In harmony,
