Eagle libraries can be shared across different devices, allowing you to access the same materials both at the office and at home. This article introduces three practical synchronization methods to help you achieve seamless data integration across multiple devices with Eagle.

Manual Sync Using External Hard Drive

If you prefer not to rely on network synchronization, you can perform manual transfers using an external hard drive:

Copy the complete Eagle library from the first computer to the external hard drive
Safely remove the external hard drive and connect it to the second computer
On the second computer's Eagle, access the newly copied library through "Library" > "Open Other Library"

Automatic Sync Using Cloud Sync Tools

You can utilize cloud storage services (such as Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive, etc.) to achieve automatic synchronization:

Move the Eagle library (.library folder) from the first computer to the local sync folder of your cloud storage service
Wait for the cloud service to completely upload the library to the cloud
Log in to the same cloud account on the second computer and ensure the library folder syncs locally
Open this synchronized library in Eagle on the second computer

Network Sharing Using NAS Device

If you own a NAS (Network Attached Storage) device, you can achieve more professional network sharing:

Ensure your NAS device is properly configured and supports file sharing functionality
Store the Eagle library folder on the NAS and configure appropriate access permissions
On all computers that need access, connect to the library stored on the NAS via network path
Open this network library in Eagle on each computer

Important Considerations

Ensure all devices use the same version of Eagle software to avoid compatibility issues
For network synchronization methods, ensure stable network connections and regularly backup important data
Do not shut down computers or interrupt network connections before library synchronization is complete
Initial synchronization of large libraries may take considerable time, please be patient
