Moving Sync to New PC


Recommended Posts

I have a single seat PRO license and just got a new desktop computer. I have a folder on my old machine synced to a remote backup machine.

I plan to use an external harddrive to move the complete folder from my old desktop to my new machine. 

Is there a best practices way to make this transfer without re-syncing all the files to the remote machine?

I took the plunge and it seems like things have worked out:

1. Transferred license to new machine (#2), this removes the pro functionality on old machine (#1).

2. Manually copied folders from #1 to #2

3.  Copied key from #1 and added to #2, directing to the appropriate copied folder

4. After a few minutes Sync had re-indexed the folders on the new computer. I also transferred .sync, and it appears that the IgnoreList is intact
