Import SKIZ

Ski Tracks can import native .skiz ﬁles into the application. There are a number of ways

this can be done on Android and it can vary between device. We have tried to make it as

easy as possible to import your SKIZ ﬁles.

1. Email a friend a SKIZ ﬁle using the export option and they can open the .SKIZ ﬁle and it

will get imported automatically.

2. Mount your device onto your computer via USB to gain access to its storage. Once

there you can place multiple ﬁles into the directory located at Ski Tracks/Tracks/Import-

SKIZ.

Importing Via Email/Gmail

Importing a SKIZ from an email on email applications can vary in its effectiveness. Here is

a step by step method for importing from Gmail.

1. Open the email in Gmail.

2. Select either view/save. (If you press save you then need to press view)

3. When you press view you either get the option to open with Ski Tracks or it

automatically begins to import it.

4. Once imported, if you open Ski Tracks and go to the History section you will be able to

see your track.

Some Issues

• On some devices you do not get the option to view or open with Ski Tracks. If this is the

case, save the ﬁle to your phone and then locate the ﬁle using another application or by

browsing your storage via Settings. (When you save the ﬁle they’re usually stored in the

Downloads folder).

• If you do not get any options to Open/Save the ﬁle then either use a different email

application on your device or jump to the next section on importing via computer.

Importing Via Computer

If you can access your phone’s external storage and mount it onto your computer then this

is the easiest way to import .SKIZ ﬁles onto your device. It is also the only way to import

multiple .SKIZ ﬁles at a time.

1. Connect your device to your computer via USB.

2. Depending on your device and software version, you access the device differently. Here

are a few examples.

a. On a Samsung Galaxy S3 you use the Android File Transfer software to access the

storage.

b. On a Samsung Galaxy Ace, swipe from the top and tap the notiﬁcation saying you’re

connected via USB. You then proceed to Mount the Drive.

c. On a Sony Ericsson Xperia U, you are prompted to install some software that allows

you to do this.

3. Once your device is mounted and you have access to the device navigate to the

directory Ski Tracks/Tracks/Import-SKIZ.

4. From there copy and paste any SKIZ ﬁles you want to import into this directory.
