So, can anyone please provide a work-a-round for my situation:
I have a Subsurface cloud account that has my logs in the cloud and I also have a copy stored locally. I also have locally stored dive log files for the wife and daughter. These were started when they had other computers and pre-cloud, but now have Peregrines, and the whole Windows/Subsurface/Bluetooth issue has me stuck unable to do anything with their electronic log and the Peregrine product. And the success with other Shearwater devices on a Windows platform becomes less and less reliable..
Occasionally, I can get my Perdix AI (I own 2 of them) and my Petrel 1 to actually talk with a Windows PC through Subsurface (though it seems to be less and less successful) and manage my log. It is easy to just take out my Android tablet/phone and use Subsurface Mobile to download my dives. I can then open and use the data on other operating system platforms..
Thing is, I can't do anything with the wife's and daughter's logs or computers through Subsurface Mobile as there is no way to open a locally stored log, just my cloud log, and it would be then jumbled with their dives......
it used to be so easy....
The way I think I understand it, I'll need to have three different Subsurface Mobile programs available to me (so three different mobile devices), each set up with a discrete account... Basically leave the log management to my wife and daughter to maintain (and that isn't going to happen.....)
I'd really think that the ability to open locally stored logs in Subsurface Mobile would be the solution, but I don't see that code being written...
I'm really frustrated...

Make separate cloud accounts for them. Access them from the desktop via command line switch. (See the help file for details.)
My android phone has the capability to have multiple instances of an app, each mapped to the appropriate cloud accounts. It's called "parallel apps". Perhaps yours does as well.

If they don't care about it... and they don't care to listen to you telling them they should care... why not respect their decision (for better or worse)?
In other words, you can lead a horse to water...

I have never been able to get my Perdix or a friend's Peregrine to download to Subsurface. Not sure if problem is computer or Subsurface.
Parallel Apps is native on my phone, but after looking further, it doesn't support all apps (i.e., Subsurface).
I wonder if making a user profile for each user on your phone would work. It would be a manual step to switch, but at least it's your phone/timeline.

Yeah, I think this is what you need to do. Separate cloud accounts. I think initially, the locally stored files for the daughter and wife will need to be uploaded to the new cloud accounts. From then on, can probably just run their accounts from the cloud storage file. Otherwise, I think you may need to point to separate files each time, which would be a pain.
Once they are uploaded, they should be able to use the mobile app to keep the log updated should they choose to.
