Files

Files are a way to share or save your work for non-team users.

All Files are saved on the Quadratic cloud so you can access your files from any device. Files auto-save as you work if you are connected to the online cloud service.

Local saving

When disconnected from the Quadratic Cloud, you can continue working as your changes are saved locally to your browser storage. Those offline changes will sync once you've reconnected to the Quadratic Cloud service.

If you've made changes while offline, once you've reconnected to the Cloud service on that machine, you'll get a prompt asking if you want to sync your offline changes.

You can either let the unsaved changes sync, or if you have progress you did on a separate machine that was connected, you may want to undo these changes as offline changes can overwrite newer online changes.

Download files

You can download and share local files from Quadratic. Simply navigate to the top left and use File --> Download local copy.

Download local copy from the file menu.

Browser permissions

Some browsers have strict permissioning which may block certain browser actions - the only action identified thus far that will be blocked by lack of permissions is to copy selection as PNG.

If you've denied the sheet access to perform permissioned actions the first time this feature will not work. You will need to grant the browser file system access to fix this error.
