Data services

OEM Cloud data services allow you to collect and manage data from remote devices. For example, a device can send data files to the OEM Cloud server, and OEM Cloud temporarily caches the data files in a database. The files are stored by default for 24 days. Any files stored in the my_tasks folder are saved indefinitely.

Data collections and files

OEM Cloud stores the files in collections, which are similar to folders. You can access files and collections using the OEM Cloud user interface and web services.

Home collection tilde (~) character

For each user account, OEM Cloud creates a home collection, which is represented by the tilde (~) character. All files for your user account are stored relative to your home directory. For example, if you created a collection named mydata, you can access the mydata collection as follows:

~/mydata
A collection for a device includes the Device ID.
~/00000000-00000000-00000000-12345678
