Couple Questions about Cloud
I am considering using the cloud services to host my images and databases. I have a few questions before I jump the gun on this however.
1) If I import all my images to the cloud, do I have to re assign every image on every screen too the cloud stored image? Even if all the images have the same name and folder?
2) If I convert all my images to the cloud, will this reduce the physical app size?
3) Your servers go down and run sluggish from time to time. When this is happening, will the app start to run slow because of the cloud data or is it on a different server?
4) Are there any complaints about apps running slower in general using the cloud as opposed to local?
Thanks in Advance.

Hi.
1. Yes
2. No
3. App will not display images or remote elements if the servers are down and it is the first time the app is open, because if it is not the first time the app is open the elements will be in the cache., but we try to avoid this situation. Servers should be up 99% of time.
4. Local is always faster, but remote content is fast too while the Internet connection is right.

Hi.
The best benefit is to be able to change 'stuff' in the app without having to republish the app. Plus forms.
It is very handy to have a database where you can change data without republishing the app, for example.
You can use remote content for it too, no need to have the cloud to use this advantage.

Sorry a couple more questions then I'm done I promise 😁.
When using the cloud, does it consume data and require an active g or WiFi connection? Or does it cache everything and only use/require data when something is updated?
Also what if you do not have an online connection? Does the app just error out?
