• Usage

  • See this tutorial for setting up and using sync.
  • It's currently available for all active Open Collective contributors ($5 or $15 per month).
  • Do not use this feature with any other third party sync service like iCloud, Syncthing, or Dropbox.
  • If you experience issues, check This FAQ. If the FAQ doesn't help, feel free to ping the team for attention on the beta-sync channel of Discord.

• Functionality

  • Syncs up to 10 graphs between Logseq Desktop, Android, and iOS.
  • Syncing is a choice that is made per graph and thus allows for some graphs to be local only.
  • Each graph is encrypted with a password. The contents of the file as well as its name are all encrypted. See [[Logseq Sync Encryption]].
  • Sync automatically happens in the background. Click on the cloud icon and the Sync now button to force a sync.

• FAQ

  • Question: Can I use Sync with git?
    • This isn't recommend unless you are pretty familiar with git. If you have auto-commit enabled you are likely to run into issues. logseq/graphs-txid.edn should not be checked into git.
  • Question: Can I use Sync with other users?
    • This isn't supported yet.
  • Question: Are my notes encrypted and what encryption technology do you use?
    • Yes, your graph is end-to-end encrypted.
    • All the files, including the assets such as pictures, videos, and PDFs, are encrypted using the age encryption.
  • Question: Are file names and paths encrypted?
    • Yes.
  • Question: Where is my encrypted data stored?
    • Your encrypted data is stored on AWS.
  • Question: Some files didn't download to my device, what should I do?
    • First, make sure you're using the latest release.
    • Usually, it's because each operating system has its file and folder name limitations. You can check [[Logseq file and folder naming rules]] to get more details. We suggest you upgrade the filename format first, you can do it in Settings -> Advanced -> Filename format -> Edit and follow the instructions in the popup.
