Happy Tuesday MacHelpNashville, I hope you're doing well!
Would you mind providing me with some more information in regards to this idea?
What would you like to see on your end, in how our computer backup feature works?
Let me know! it does not sync desktop and documents if you have more than one machine.
one laptop and one desktop would have separate folders with different content.
not very useful day to day.
- MeganThanks for the clarification MacHelpNashville!
Keep in mind that you should be able to see "My PC" or "My Mac" and the name of the device in parenthesis (...) on all of your devices.
All of the backups should sync to the account.
Does something different happen in your case, or would you prefer to have one backup for all of your devices? I would prefer it be meaningful sync so that the user can enjoy the same desktop and the same documents folder on their local computers.
- MeganThanks for the heads up MacHelpNashville!
At the moment, this wouldn't be possible due to security and permission issues.
Your comments and feedback on our Computer backup feature have been quite helpful.
