Eagle is a local asset management software that primarily relies on local storage to manage your resource libraries. Many users may wonder why they cannot automatically sync content across multiple devices despite using the same license key for software activation. This article will explain the reasons and provide practical cross-device usage solutions.

How Eagle Works

Eagle is a local application software, where the license key is only used to activate software features, allowing you to use asset collection and editing organization functions normally. Eagle does not include online accounts, automatic file synchronization, or cloud storage space features.

Solutions for Sharing Resource Libraries Across Multiple Devices

Although Eagle does not provide built-in synchronization features, you can still achieve cross-device sharing of resource libraries through the following two methods:

Using Third-Party Sync Services
- Place your "Resource Library.library folder" in the local sync folder of cloud storage services (such as Google Drive, OneDrive, Nutstore, etc.)
- Ensure that the resource library .library has been completely uploaded to the cloud on Device A
- Ensure that the resource library .library has been completely downloaded from the cloud to local storage on Device B
- Important Note: Disable disk space-saving features such as "On-demand download," "Optimize storage space," or "Cloud bridge" in sync tools to ensure complete and accurate file synchronization
Using Portable Storage Devices
- Store the complete resource library .library folder on portable storage devices (such as USB hard drives)
- When physically transferring data between different devices, pay attention to hard drive format compatibility issues between different operating systems

Key Considerations

Resource library data must be completely saved on local machine paths for Eagle software to read and display
It is recommended to regularly backup important data in storage devices, including but not limited to Eagle resource library folders, personal photos, and important work documents, to minimize losses in case of unexpected situations

Why can’t I sync content even with the same license key?
