Syncing between PCs

Post by rob9842230223 »

I would like to see an option where I could sync my settings and projects between my multiple computers. I have WYSIWYG 15 installed on my work computer, my home desktop and my portable laptop, but they don't sync information so i have to manually download my files and input the FTP settings on each installation. Providing a syncing service would be a nice new feature.

Re: Syncing between PCs

What I do is have all my data files in a dropbox type area (it's actually on my SYnology NAS, but everyone knows what Dropbox is).

I install WWB and the extensions on each of my computers (1 desktop and 1 laptop). The shared area is on the D: drive on my desktop and C: drive on my laptop.

I then use the SUBST command to create the same drive letter on each device pointing to the top level of where my data is. Then, I use WWB pointing to my SUBST drive - not C or D.

So, for example:

On my desktop, my NAS shared area is at D:\users\alans\cloud\mydata.
On my laptop, my NAS shared area is at C:\users\alans\cloud\drive\mydata.

The SUBST commands I use for each are:

Desktop: SUBST X: D:\users\alans\cloud\mydata
Laptop: SUBST X: C:\users\alans\cloud\drive\mydata

As long as WWB is pointing at my X: drive - everything is preserved and updated when I close off. I do have to remember to only work on one device at a time.

I know this works, because I was able to do updates on my laptop when I was in Australia and, when I got home, carry on on my desktop.

I hope that helps

Alan
