Settings › iCloud
With iCloud sync, all your Macs share the same history and pinboards.
Turn on sync
- On each Mac, sign in to iCloud in System Settings with the same Apple Account.
- In ClipWorX, open Settings › iCloud and turn on Sync history and pinboards via iCloud.
- Click Restart Now. ClipWorX restarts and begins syncing.
- Repeat this on every other Mac.
The first time you turn it on, ClipWorX uploads your existing history to iCloud. After that, new items, pinned items, pinboards and deletions are transferred automatically, usually within a few seconds.
| Display | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Status | Active, Syncing…, Off, No iCloud account signed in or an error message. |
| Last sync | When data was last transferred successfully. |
What is synced
- Yes: all history items (text, links, images, colors, file references), pinboards with their names and colors, and deletions.
- No: settings. You set the shortcut, retention period, rules and excluded apps on each Mac separately.
If you copy the same content on two Macs, ClipWorX merges the two items into one after syncing.
Turn off sync
Turn off the option and restart ClipWorX. The history stays on this Mac, but new items are no longer transferred. Items you delete afterwards are deleted only on this Mac.
Privacy
Your data is stored in the private area of your iCloud account. Only you can access it, not even the maker of ClipWorX. See Privacy and data for more.
For details, including deleting and retention across several Macs, see Syncing between Macs.
