Link to cloud services

To enable access to specific Cloud Services, follow these steps:

1. Sign in to myviewboard.com with your ViewSonic account.
2. Locate the myViewBoard tile and launch your user settings.
3. Click App & Cloud Integration section on the side panel.
   
   
4. On the table of supported services, perform the following:
   • On the Status column: 
     Click the   Link icon to launch the consent page for the service to connect. 
     Do this for every service you want to connect to.
     
     
   • On the Default column: 
     Click the  Star icon to set a service as the default. 
     myViewBoard will connect to this default service to load custom images for backgrounds, line pens, and shape tool features. 
     
     
5. Note that any changes to this page are automatically saved, but allow some time for the updates to take effect. 

You should be now able to connect with the service when you sign in with your account.

Folder directory

The binding process will create a myViewBoard folder in the root directory of your cloud storage, then adds several sub-folders inside. These new sub-folders are required by specific myViewBoard features to function properly. 

Once a cloud service is connected, you can:

• Save custom images for backgrounds, shape pens, and magic line pens.

• Load and import supported file types, including OLF, PPT, and PDF files stored in cloud drives.

Default image settings

Default images are custom images that myViewBoard automatically loads when you sign in. These can be used to personalize your workspace with predefined visual elements.

You can configure default images for the following tools:

• Backgrounds
• Shape pens
• Magic line pens

Default image support is limited to cloud services marked with a star (★). When default images are set:

• myViewBoard searches for them in the cloud service you have marked as default.
• If found, these images are loaded automatically during sign-in.
• If no cloud service is set as default, myViewBoard uses its standard images instead.

NextCloud integration

myViewBoard supports integration with Nextcloud, a private, self-hosted cloud storage system. You can link Nextcloud to myViewBoard using one of the following:
