+**(189) What is cloud sync?** + +Cloud sync is meant to synchronize configuration data across devices. +It can be used to restore configuration data onto a new device too. + +Cloud sync is based on a cloud account. You can register/login by entering a username and a password and using the login button. + +A cloud sync account needs to be activated, which is to prevent misusing the cloud sync server. +To activate a cloud sync account, use the *Activate* button to send an email to a special email address. +The email needs to come from an address used to activate the pro features before. +You'll receive an email in response indicating whether the activation was succesful or not. + +The app will automatically synchronize once a day, but you can manually synchronize too. + +Synchronization will currently add and update enabled accounts and identities only. +Existing accounts or identities will never be deleted. + +Cloud sync is an experimental feature. It is not available for the Play Store version of the app yet.
