Eagle is a local application software that, while not having built-in data synchronization capabilities, allows you to achieve material sharing and collaborative management between teams through third-party synchronization services. This article will introduce how to set up and use these solutions.

Sharing Solutions

Using Cloud Storage Services (such as Dropbox, Google Drive)

Move the Eagle library (.library folder) to the local sync folder of your cloud storage service
Use the file sharing feature of the cloud storage service to share this folder with team members
After team members accept the invitation, the folder will sync to their devices
Each member can open this shared library in their own Eagle application

Using NAS (such as Synology)

Ensure your NAS device supports cloud sync functionality
Store the Eagle library folder directly on the NAS device
Configure the NAS sync settings to ensure all team members can access the folder
Team members can access the Eagle library on the NAS through network connection

Important Considerations

Avoid Conflicts: Please avoid multiple people editing the same material or file simultaneously (such as modifying folder categories, adding tags, changing names, etc.), as this may cause sync conflicts or data inconsistencies
Team Collaboration Rules: Ensure all team members understand the basic principles of synchronization to avoid potential data loss or overwrite issues
Regular Checks: Regularly check sync status to ensure data on all devices remains up-to-date
