Sync WaveBox across devices

[amancevice]

• 3.6.0

• macOS 10.13.2

I have a paid WaveBox account and have installed WaveBox on two devices (work & home, both macs, both on 10.13.2). It would be nice if WaveBox synchronized the app configuration accross devices -- or at least gave the option to do so.

I usually add new accts to WaveBox on my work computer and it's a bit of a hassle to then go do the same thing on my home computer. It'd be cool if the acct just showed up.

The acct credentials obviously wouldn't need to sync, but if the specific WaveBox settings (type of acct, user name, colors, &c) did I think this would be a great feature.

This is something we're working towards adding but just haven't gotten around to yet. It may be a bit late now, but if you need to setup another machine there's some instructions here on how to import/export between machines

+1 on this , both Linux boxes (although I guess a sync shouldnt matter what the client is)

Where are those files stored? If it's in a consistent location, we could use mackup to sync across devices

@max-imlian did you ever find an answer to your question? Quick search didn't show any obvious Library folders, but its likely under something other than 'Wavebox'. Here's what I have so far, but I haven't tested it:

[application]
name = wavebox

[configuration_files]
Library/Preferences/io.wavebox.wavebox.plist 
Library/Preferences/io.wavebox.wavebox.helper.plist
Library/Application Support/wavebox/Preferences
Library/Application Support/wavebox/app_db.json
Library/Application Support/wavebox/extension_store_db.json
Library/Application Support/wavebox/mailboxes_db.json
Library/Application Support/wavebox/notifhist_db.json
Library/Application Support/wavebox/settings_db.json
Library/Application Support/wavebox/user_db.json
Library/Application Support/wavebox/wire_db.json\

I didn't find anything. Would be interested to know if that works!

Hi, we've added the ability to import and export accounts using cloud sync in 3.14.14 beta (more info on beta). If you head into settings and then Data & Sync there are some tools to restore and save your profile. It's not full on sync but gives some more tooling to restore.

I'll keep this open while we work on adding full sync

I've tried using this feature and nothing happens. I uploaded/synced to cloud, and on a new computer clicked the restore button, but there is no sync that takes place.

I have the same problem as @jessewallace. Syncing from an existing Linux host to a Windows host appears to have no effect on the target.

Thanks, I'll have a look and get this patched
