Sync between computers

Data synchronization can be established between any computers that meet the conditions described in Sync creation. Please check these conditions.

First let's consider the main steps required for creating a sync. Then you will see in more detail how to perform these steps.

General scheme of sync creation

To create a new sync, it is necessary to perform the following main steps:

Steps on the computer which will own the sync:

1. Select the folder containing the data you want to synchronize.
2. Create a new sync and send invitations to other computers to join the new sync.

Steps on other computers:

1. Accept the invitation (join the sync).
2. Specify the folder to synchronize with the folder on the first computer.

Detailed scheme of sync creation

Find out whether the owners of the computers use the same Acronis account. Depending on the answer choose a variant and use the appropriate link:

1. Synchronization between computers with the same account (for example between your home computers). See details in How to sync data between your computers.
2. Synchronization between computers which belong to different accounts (for example between your computer and your friend's computer). See details in How to sync data with another person.

If you are creating a sync between three or more computers and some of them belong to the same account and other do not, choose option 2. Perform the steps for creating a sync on the computer which will own the sync. Then, the only thing left is to accept the invitations on the other computers.
