Data capture is frequently used with cloud sync.
You can start and stop capture and sync independently.
You can also enable cloud sync without data capture and it will sync data in the capture directory, as well as the additional sync paths configured in the `viam-server` config.
If you place data like images or files in the `~/.viam/capture` directory or another directory set up for sync with the data manager, for example with the `"additional_sync_paths"` config attribute, it will sync this data to the cloud.

You can use the data management service to capture and sync data from your machine to the cloud.

Viam supports data capture from {{< glossary_tooltip term_id="resource" text="resources" >}} on {{< glossary_tooltip term_id="remote-part" text="remote parts" >}}.
For example, if you use a {{< glossary_tooltip term_id="part" text="part" >}} that does not have a Linux operating system or that does not have enough storage or processing power, you can still process and capture the data from that part's resources by adding it as a remote part.
For example, if you use a {{< glossary_tooltip term_id="part" text="part" >}} that does not have a Linux operating system or does not have enough storage or processing power to run `viam-server`, you can still process and capture the data from that part's resources by adding it as a remote part.

Currently, you can only configure data capture from remote resources in your JSON configuration.
To add them to your JSON configuration you must explicitly add the remote resource's `type`, `model`, `name`, and `additional_params` to the `data_manager` service configuration in the `remotes` configuration:
