gabled-bravado-dell Posted February 10, 2016 Report Share Posted February 10, 2016 (edited) I am wanting to migrate to my own “cloud” and Sync looks like a great option. I have a few question and more likely to have a few more and would appreciate any help to what I am sure will be looked upon as very basic question. I have downloaded the software and am at the “Welcome to Sync” screen. I am being ask to “Choose a name to show when you send and receive folders”. I am setting this up on one of three computers I own. This one is my work desktop. I have a desktop at home and then a notebook. Does this name need to be different for each installation of Sync for each of the three computers or should it be the same name? I will eventually share files/folders with other people.

It should be the same for all your own devices that you wish to link together under the same identify.

That is what I suspected but I wanted to be sure before proceeding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
