Eagle libraries can be synchronized across different devices, allowing you to share material collections with team members. This article introduces several practical synchronization methods and important considerations.

Synchronization Methods

Using Cloud Storage Services

Move the Eagle library (.library folder) to the local sync folder of cloud storage services (such as Dropbox, Google Drive, etc.)
Share the library folder with other users through the file sharing feature of the cloud storage service
After other users accept the sharing invitation, the library will automatically sync to their devices
Open this shared library through Eagle on other computers to access and edit materials

Using NAS Devices

Ensure your NAS device (such as Synology, etc.) supports file sharing and network access features
Store the Eagle library folder on the NAS and set appropriate access permissions
Access the library stored on the NAS from multiple computers through the network

Important Considerations

Avoid Conflicts: Avoid multiple people editing the same material or file simultaneously to prevent data conflicts or version inconsistencies. It's recommended to coordinate editing times or view materials being edited through "read-only" mode
Operation Training: Ensure all team members understand the correct synchronization and sharing operation procedures to avoid data loss or incorrect overwrites
Regular Checks: Regularly check the synchronization status and health of cloud storage or NAS to ensure all data remains up-to-date and complete
