How do two computers sync in Opus?

Help & Support
1

I have two computers, one portable and one desktop. My desktop is an installation of Windows 11 professional. My portable is an installation of Windows 10. Portable also has a current opus install. Both have a folding toolbar called Float1. They both reflect the same drive and folder layout. In other words, you might say that they mirror each other, with the exception of Windows 10 and Windows 11.

Both are connected by a Wi-Fi network.

Here's the issue. Both have te current release of Opus. I'm using the same layout Float1 on both.

I just did a lot of modifications to the lister called Float1, on my desktop computer. I then continued working on my desktop computer and then going back and forth between the portable and the desktop I then noticed that the Float1 Lister, on my desktop computer and changed to reflect the appearance of my portable computer.

I guess I'm looking at what came first, the chicken or the egg. How does this happen? Is there a setting to control the synchronization?

If you have roaming profiles set up in Windows then the settings will sync between machines at logon/logoff. Those are usually only set up within enterprise networks where people are likely to move between desks/PCs.

Otherwise, there isn't any automatic syncing, and you'd normally have to do a config backup or copy the files between machines for one to affect the other.

If it happened by itself and you aren't using roaming profiles, something must be copying the config files between machines.

I am using a Logitech mouse MX 3, which lets me copy files between computers. But I don't think that's the issue. So to be safe, I renamed my Lister on Desktop Computer.
