      Only one Frédéric with such a question 😂.
      We have exchanged sometime ago about these files, which contains watch calculated altitude + GPS altitude, and at that time, sporttrack could not manage two different altitude.
      Maybe you will do some magic in MTB (where I am now, thanks to you 😁 👍). Good luck, and don’t hesitate to ask any question here.

        Lol 😊

        Indeed, I remember now ! SportTracks is dead so I migrated the S9 file format support to MT and MT supports both altitude so you should look into it 😊

        Thanks, I will wait this month to see what really happens and I might have to use your Dropbox sync trick to retrieve my files to my PC.
        And guess what ? Pure coincidence but for the last release of MT (20.8), I actually have added the Dropbox integration so when I get my S9 files on dropbox, they will get imported automatically into MT 👍

          Right now Suunto App can export data in FIT format, it contains all the data, but is different from what you used to have in SuuntoLink folder

            At the moment, when I export an S9 activity from MovesCount in FIT file those FIT files don’t contain pauses for example, so they don’t “contain all the data” like you say. Do you know if that’s the case from the FIT files coming from the Suunto App ? If it’s the case, I am not interested.

              @Frederic I think yes, it should contain pauses. Suunto App FIT files is more complex than MC ones, doc is here https://apizone.suunto.com/fit-description

                Thanks for the doc, indeed it seems to support pauses. I will see when I use the app I guess

                  One more thing…
                  When you say that the Suunto App can export data in FIT format, are you saying that a user can export one file at a time (like in Movescount) or that it is an automated process ?
                  Personally, I am not interested exporting one file at a time when I have 10+ activities per week. Hence the trick from @Mff73 to sync to a dropbox folder automatically.

                    @Frederic I think it’s possible to make auto-sync of FIT files from Suunto App to Dropbox using Suunto App and Dropbox APIs, but requires some coding.

                      @pavel-samokha Bummer… Then I’d rather go with @Mff73 easier solution.

                      Thanks!

                        and @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos

                        could it be possible that something like DropBox (or any personal user cloud service) be considered in SA like a Suunto third party Partner, and thus enable automatic fit file sync to personal cloud ?

                          @Mff73 from user standpoint (I mean me as a user) I think it’s nice idea. But as partner - don’t know, need some altruist like Dimi to implement such service. May be it’s better to request such feature from partners we already have - RunGap and SyncMyTracks - or may be they already have such feature?

                            Thanks.
                            Correct me if i am wrong, but Syncmytracks currently only get TCX or GPX files from Sportstracker and it is not true SA data export (it is just “fake” SA like sportstracker renamed export). Or maybe it has changed.

                              @Mff73 oh, it seems that you’re right, I didn’t know they still using ST instead of official Suunto API. Someone should tell them.

                                  Or to request from a service like Tapiriik that already connect services to Dropbox (example : Garmin Connect with Dropbox) ?
