Feature request: secure downloading

Postby Upper_management » Fri Jan 21, 2011 7:43 pm

Dear Ernie,

Is there any chance that a future version will include the ability to load decks securely, in some way that doesn't use a public server? I have to memorize hundreds of employee names and faces, information that our IT folks guard carefully. Unless I can directly load decks to my phone -- via iTunes, Google docs, or some other way that requires authentication -- IT won't budge. They're more than happy to work with me, though, if I can show them that the connection is locked down. Please help!

Many thanks,
Helpless in upper management

Your current option is to put the decks on your own web server. See the page:

For the deck code, you just specify the URL path of the text file on your own private/protected server.

The version after this upcoming one will feature downloading from your private/personal Dropbox account, so this will be another way to keep your data secure.
