If you also have Heredis software on an Android device, you can transfer your genealogy file from your mobile device to this device.
N.B.: Each version of Heredis has its own file format. This transfer will only work if both the mobile application are on the same version or if you are transferring it to convert it to a higher version (e.g. Heredis 2023 mobile application to Heredis 2024).
Please note that this transfer method does not allow you to downgrade your file to a lower version of the software (for example, from the Heredis 2024 mobile application to the Heredis 2023).
Open Heredis on the device containing your genealogy file, and go to the "Tools" menu:
Select "Export family Tree":
Follow the instructions to export the file.
You can then transfer your genealogy by e-mail or via a Cloud application.
- For an e-mail transfer (file size under 20 MB):
Once the export is complete, go to "Files" and compress the hmwz file:
Once the exported file is compressed, you can transfer the zipped .hmwz file by sending an e-mail to yourself :
=> Go to the end of this article to see what to do on your Android device.
- To send your file through a Cloud application ( such as iCloud, Google drive, etc....):
Note: compression is not required here, so you can send the file in hmwz format directly.
If the size of your zipped family tree exceeds 20 MB, it may be rejected by your mailbox. In this case, you'll need to send it via a Cloud application, as illustrated below.
As your genealogy is exported, you can send it to iCloud.

Alternatively, you could upload your file to Google drive (or any other Cloud application you may be using):
On the device on which you want to receive the genealogy file, download the file in .hmwz format from your cloud or from the e-mail you've sent yourself. Be sure to place this file in the Downloads folder on your mobile device.
Once this file has been downloaded to the Downloads folder, open the Heredis application and select the drop-down menu:
Select Import a Heredis File :
