Amazon Cloud Drive launched its developer platform a year and a half ago, and more recently the Android and iOS SDKs. Since then the Cloud Drive API has enabled companies to connect with new customers by providing them with instant access to data and functionality they would have otherwise needed to build.

More recently, financial technology companies are using Amazon Cloud Drive to store and sync receipts, which improves convenience for customers looking to manage their personal finances.
Today, we'll look at the 4.5+ star-rated personal finance app MoneyWiz and sit down with Iliya Yordanov, Founder and CEO of SilverWiz, to learn about how his company is using Amazon Cloud Drive in their cross-platform app to help customers better manage their money.
Tell us about your company?
SilverWiz started in 2010 to solve a personal problem I had by building a powerful personal finance app to help me better manage my money. In June of 2011, we launched our first app and have since grown our customer base to over one million users. Our distributed team has also grown over the years to twelve people. We are headquartered in San Francisco, CA, and our company is 100% self-funded.
What does MoneyWiz do and how does it simplify personal finance?
MoneyWiz is a cross-platform personal finance app for iOS, Mac, Android, and Windows. It integrates three major aspects of personal finance into one app: managing accounts, budgets, and bills. By integrating all three aspects, we're able to provide customers a seamless flow of their financial data, making it easier for them to see the big picture of their money. MoneyWiz is not a typical finance app where customers just input an expense amount and fool themselves that they're responsible with managing their money. Our software has more than 400 features and really lets customers dig in and manage their money. Some of the most popular ones are online banking, multi-device sync across platforms, and forecasting capabilities. On top of that, we've spent thousands of hours optimizing MoneyWiz so it's intuitive for the majority of people, getting the learning curve down to just a few minutes.
How do you think about consumer cloud storage as it relates to personal finance?
Historically, personal finance software hasn't been using cloud storage much. MoneyWiz was actually the first personal finance app to be cloud capable, providing automatic seamless sync between any number of devices. Now with cloud file storage, we can take that to a whole new level.
Explain your Amazon Cloud Drive API integration?
What we've developed for MoneyWiz using the Amazon Cloud Drive API is a receipts sync and backup feature. This lets MoneyWiz users attach photo receipts to their expenses. Our sync platform, SYNCbits, is dedicated to syncing data rather than files and for that reason we didn't have receipts sync up until now. Whenever a customer attaches a photo receipt to a transaction, we use the Amazon Cloud Drive API to upload it to their account in a folder named MoneyWiz. Then all instances of MoneyWiz detect the newly uploaded photo receipt and download it. It's completely automatic and allows our customers to have all of their receipts synced between all of their devices thanks to Amazon Cloud Drive. The Amazon Cloud Drive API integration makes this customer experience possible.
What developer tools did you use to implement receipts sync?
We used Android Studio together with the Amazon Cloud Drive Android SDK and specifically Login with Amazon, List Nodes, and the Upload and Download File features. Receipt sync takes place at the time customers save a transaction that has a receipt attached to it, assuming other conditions are met. For example, if a customer has disabled non-WiFi receipts sync, MoneyWiz will wait for WiFi before it syncs to avoid high data usage costs. We also reviewed the Amazon Cloud Drive demos, documentation, and best practices guide to deliver an outstanding customer experience.
What platforms is Amazon Cloud Drive supported on in your app?
As of today we've completed the integration on Android for the Amazon Appstore version of MoneyWiz. Zbrush 2020 1 1 torrent. Kindle Fire users can search the Amazon Appstore for MoneyWiz and connect their Amazon Cloud Drive account to enable receipts sync. Over time, we will roll out the receipts sync feature across other platforms we support.
How do Amazon Cloud Drive customers get started?
Customers can download MoneyWiz on their Kindle Fire device, by searching for MoneyWiz, or get it directly through the Amazon Appstore. If they want to download it on other devices (iOS, Mac, Windows) they can visit the MoneyWiz website for download links.
How do customers enable receipts sync using their Amazon Cloud Drive account?
Once customers download MoneyWiz from the Amazon Appstore, they can go into the app's Settings, and select SYNCbits. (Customers will need to register for a SYNCbits account if they don't already have one to allow us to sync the receipts' metadata.) Once customers are logged in to SYNCbits, a new button will appear that allows customers to link MoneyWiz to their Amazon Cloud Drive account. Once they link Amazon Cloud Drive, receipts sync is enabled and will automatically run in the background.
How can other financial companies leverage consumer cloud storage such as Amazon Cloud Drive?
Is Moneywiz Safe
Most financial companies that develop apps (not web based services) don't provide any sync capabilities at all, so Amazon Cloud Drive could be a great start for them. Deckset 1 8 3. For example, our team wants to expand the file syncing capabilities to several other aspects of our service, such as saving reports and automatic local backups of the database. We're also considering export sync to allow seamless integration with other financial tools.

How quick was it to get started with the Amazon Cloud Drive developer tools in comparison to other cloud storage platforms?
On a technical side there were no surprises. The step-by-step tutorials and samples made getting started with the Amazon Cloud Drive API extremely easy. We had a minor hiccup with the proper signatures for authentication, but the Cloud Drive support team was very responsive and helpful in identifying the error on our end and provided a solution to correct it. Other than that, I must say that the whole integration process was pretty easy and straightforward.
Lastly, where do you envision personal finance going in the next three to five years?
Moneywiz 2
I closely monitor the FinTech industry and it's a very dynamic one. FinTech is booming right now with startups offering all sorts of personal finance solutions, but most are targeted to solve just one issue. I believe that in time we'll see distinct leaders who can solve those single issues but solve them well. From a customer's perspective, I believe people will gain better understanding of their finances and be more equipped to automate financial tasks. We're actually working towards this, too, but at the moment I am unable to provide more details. There are lots of changes going on in the industry and the space will look entirely different in three to five years.
