Eagle library currently cannot automatically sync across multiple devices, but you can achieve this functionality through third-party cloud storage services. This article will explain why Eagle doesn't have built-in cloud sync functionality and how to use alternative solutions to keep your data consistent across multiple devices.

Why doesn't Eagle provide cloud sync functionality?

Eagle software doesn't provide cloud sync functionality mainly due to the following reasons:

Developing and maintaining cloud sync services requires high operational costs and technical support
Involves considerations of server costs, data security assurance, and legal compliance
The Eagle team is currently focused on optimizing the software's core functionality and user experience
Many users are already using mature third-party cloud storage services

Alternative Sync Solutions

You can achieve cross-device synchronization of Eagle libraries through the following methods:

Using Third-Party Cloud Storage Services

Cloud Drive Sync: Store your Eagle library folder in third-party cloud storage services like Google Drive, Dropbox, etc., to achieve automatic synchronization
Advantages: Simple setup, automatic background sync, real-time access across multiple devices

Using NAS Devices

If your company or team has NAS (Network Attached Storage) devices, you can store Eagle libraries directly on the NAS
NAS automatically handles data synchronization, allowing team members to share access to the same materials
Suitable for team collaboration scenarios with more secure and controllable data storage

Using Portable Storage Devices

Carry and transfer library folders using external hard drives or USB drives
Suitable for scenarios that don't require real-time data updates or frequent access
Note: When using this method, ensure the drive format is compatible across different operating systems

Important Notice

While Eagle currently has no plans to develop its own cloud sync service, through the alternative solutions mentioned above, you can still achieve cross-device synchronization and sharing of your libraries to meet personal or team collaboration needs.
