    Cloud Sync

    Cloud Sync keeps clips and key settings aligned across devices, even when devices are on different networks.

    What can be synced

    • Clip history (based on your sync scope).
    • Structured data such as collections, aliases, and tags.
    • Selected app preferences and settings.
    INFO

    Cloud Sync is opt-in and must be enabled in settings.

    First-time setup

    1

    Open Cloud Sync settings

    Go to the sync section in app settings.

    2

    Connect your cloud storage provider

    Complete login and authorization as prompted.

    3

    Choose a sync scope

    Start with a conservative scope (for example, collections and aliases only), then expand if needed.

    4

    Repeat on other devices with the same configuration

    Wait for the first alignment cycle to complete.

    Verify setup

    • Create a test clip on device A.
    • Check whether the same clip appears on device B.
    • Confirm sync status and latest sync time are updated.

    Sync behavior

    • Cloud Sync targets eventual consistency, not strict real-time mirroring.
    • Offline changes are queued locally and synced after reconnect.
    • Concurrent edits across devices may keep the latest resolved version.

    Common issues

    Security recommendation

    WARNING

    For sensitive data, keep sync scope minimal. Sync only structured metadata if full clip content is not required.
