Eagle libraries can be synchronized across multiple devices. You can achieve this through NAS devices, cloud sync tools, or external hard drives. This article will provide detailed instructions for various synchronization methods.

Synchronizing with NAS Devices

If you own a NAS (Network Attached Storage) device, such as Synology, you can follow these steps:

Ensure your NAS device supports file sharing and network access functionality
Store the Eagle library folder on the NAS and set appropriate access permissions
Access the library stored on the NAS from all computers that need to use it via network connection

Using Cloud Sync Tools

You can utilize cloud storage services (such as Dropbox, Google Drive, etc.) to synchronize libraries:

Move the Eagle library (.library folder) from the first computer to the local sync folder of your cloud storage service
Use the cloud service's file sharing feature to share the library folder with the second computer
After accepting the share on the second computer, the library folder will automatically sync to that device
Open this shared library through Eagle to access and edit materials

Manual Transfer Using External Hard Drive

If you prefer not to use network synchronization, you can perform manual transfer via external hard drive:

Copy the Eagle library from the first computer to the external hard drive
Safely eject the external hard drive and connect it to the second computer
Open the library from the external hard drive in Eagle

Important Considerations

Ensure all computers use the same version of Eagle software to avoid compatibility issues
Pay attention to data security during operations to prevent data loss or corruption
If sharing via network methods, ensure a secure network environment and regularly check data integrity
Synchronizing large libraries may take considerable time, please be patient and wait for synchronization to complete
