Re: Syncing 2 PC's Question

Post by w7btm »

I am also trying to use OneDrive to sync Log4OM on two different PCs. I never run both at the same time, or sleep one while the other runs. One is Windows 10 and the other is Windows 11. My primary is the Windows 10 PC.

I noticed that confirmations and uploads are not syncing. So the W11 machine thinks that NONE of my Q's have been uploaded, but the W10 machine see all of them uploaded and confirmed.

The strange thing is that both PC's correctly show ALL my QSOs without any manual syncing.

Does this mean that the confirmation and upload status is stored locally, and NOT on OneDrive, while other data IS synced with OneDrive?

If both PC's are using a common sqlite file the data is common to both and must be identical - Nothing missing

However we have had quiet a few instances of the security on One drive causing wierd issues due tho access issues, my recomendation is to use either Google Drive or Dropbox instead but make sure that you INSTAL GD or Dropbox on each PC do not rely on the cloud, that way each PC also has an instance.

I have used both GD and DB for this for about 12 years without any issues of syncronisation.
