I currently have my web site on my Mac Book Pro. The backup feature in the little box that you use to manage your projects backs up to icloud drive when manually requested. I have just purchased one of the new Imac M6 desktop machines (it gets delivered next week) My goal is to be able to open up the project, do edits, publish, etc... from either my the desktop or the macbook. How do I set up the project to do that? Thanks! |

Hi James, Thank you for your question. For this setup, we recommend Dropbox rather than iCloud Drive, since Dropbox lets you open the project directly from its synced folder on both Macs. Your manual backups to iCloud Drive can stay as they are. 1. Install the official Dropbox desktop app on both Macs. 2. On the new iMac, download and install EverWeb from here: https://www.everwebapp.com/download.html 3. On the MacBook Pro, open the Welcome to EverWeb screen, click the three dots (...) next to your project and select Show on Disk. 4. Move the highlighted .everweb project file into your Dropbox folder. 5. On either Mac, click the Dropbox icon in the menu bar, click the folder icon to open your Dropbox folder, and double-click the .everweb project file to open it in EverWeb. Please do not open the project from the Dropbox website or a browser, since that downloads a separate copy and your changes will not stay in sync. This video tutorial shows the full setup for working on several computers: https://www.everwebapp.com/support/video-tutorials/backing-up-or-sharing-an-everweb-site.html To avoid the risk of project file corruption, please keep in mind: - Open the project on only one Mac at a time. - Before switching Macs or turning off the computer, make sure the project file has fully synced to Dropbox.
