Sharing and backing up your projects on Gobbler ► The Gobbler interface

SONAR LE Documentation is based on the full version of SONAR. Some screenshots, folder paths, features and other references may differ from your installation.

The Gobbler interface

The integrated Gobbler module in SONAR’s Control Bar enables you to back up and share projects on the cloud-based Gobbler service directly from SONAR.

To show/hide the Gobbler module

Right-click the Control Bar and select Gobbler Module.

The Gobbler module contains the following controls:

Connect to Gobbler . Connect to the Gobbler cloud based service. Click again to disconnect from Gobbler.

Auto Backup . Initiate an automated backup of the current project, unless the project has already been backed up. This setting is per project. When Auto Backup is enabled, Gobbler will continuously back up your project as you work. However, Gobbler is smart, so it won’t run any CPU related tasks while you are working in SONAR. The color of the button indicates its state:

Blue : The project is presently on auto-backup.

Yellow : The project is already backed up, but paused (not active).

Storage indicator. Shows the available remaining storage in your Gobbler account. Shows Offline if Gobbler is not enabled.

Send Project Using Gobbler . Draft a message and send the current project to another Gobbler user. SONAR will prompt you to save the project if it has been changed since the last save. The Gobbler service will alert the recipients and grant them access to the files.

Notifications from Gobbler . This button lights up if another Gobbler user sends files to you. Click the button to launch Gobbler and view messages.
