Essential Reading Before Using Sync Tools:

1. What Are Sync Tools

In the past, if we wanted to work across multiple devices, we could only manually transfer files through external hard drives, USB drives, and other methods, which was inefficient and time-consuming. "Sync tools" are products designed to solve this need. Through cloud-based sync tools, we can easily keep important files consistent and synchronized across multiple devices.

2. How Sync Tools Work

Most sync tools automatically create a dedicated sync "folder" after installation. The sync tool client automatically uploads files in this folder to cloud servers and synchronizes them in real-time to every device that has the same sync tool installed, achieving synchronization.

3. Limitations of Sync Tools

Sync tools are not cloud storage space; they are primarily used for syncing and backing up data. Files will still occupy local storage space.
When using Eagle with these cloud sync features, please ensure your network environment is stable to guarantee files can complete synchronization successfully.
Do not use unauthorized or unofficial sync tools to avoid performance limitations, data loss, or disputes.

Please be sure to understand the above points before proceeding with the sync tool setup steps below.

How to Set Up OneDrive

OneDrive is a cloud sync service developed by Microsoft that allows us to conveniently sync files and folders across multiple devices. Therefore, we can use the same mechanism to sync Eagle library folders across multiple devices:

Step 1: Download OneDrive Client

Go to OneDrive homepage
Click the download link at the top of the page
Click the "Download button" on the page to start downloading

Step 2: Install OneDrive Client

Double-click the downloaded file, and the system will automatically install it. After installation is complete, open the OneDrive client.

Step 3: Set Up Folders to Sync

If you only need OneDrive to sync Eagle libraries, click Next.

Step 4: Open OneDrive Sync Folder

By default, the client will automatically open your OneDrive sync folder. If it doesn't open automatically, you can find it at this path: /Username/OneDrive

Step 5: Drag the "Eagle Library" into the OneDrive Sync Folder

Step 6: Return to Eagle, Click Software Menu "Library" > "Load Other Library..."

Step 7: Select the New Eagle Library Path, and Setup is Complete!

Step 8: Go to Other Devices

Repeat the above installation steps, wait for the client to automatically sync, then load the new library path to complete multi-device synchronization.

If you encounter a situation where the library cannot be found after using OneDrive sync, this may be caused by the "Files On-Demand" feature. Please refer to this article to learn how to resolve this issue.
