Multi-device Sync

MoryFlow notes are just regular folders—use cloud storage to sync across devices.

How It Works

MoryFlow notes are regular Markdown files stored in a folder you specify.

Just put that folder in a cloud sync directory and it automatically syncs to other devices.

Cloud Sync Folder/ └── My Notes/ ← This is your notes folder ├── Work/ ├── Study/ └── ...

Sync Best Practices

Avoiding Conflicts

Editing the same file on multiple devices simultaneously can cause conflicts.

How to prevent:

  1. Wait for sync before editing

    • After opening MoryFlow, wait a few seconds for files to sync

  2. Don't edit simultaneously

    • Finish editing on one device, wait for sync, then edit on another

  3. Edit different files

    • On different devices, work on different notes

When Conflicts Happen

When there's a conflict, cloud storage typically:

  • Keeps both versions
  • Creates a copy marked "conflict"

How to resolve:

  1. Compare the content of both files
  2. Manually merge what you need
  3. Delete the conflict copy

Things to Note

First Time Sync

When setting up, wait for all files to sync before starting to use.

Large Number of Files

If you have many or large files:

  • First sync may take a while
  • Use selective sync to exclude what you don't need

Attachments

If notes have images or other attachments:

  • Make sure attachments are in the sync scope
  • Large attachments may slow down sync

Configuration Files

MoryFlow settings (API keys, etc.) are stored in the app data directory and won't sync with your notes folder.

Each device needs separate configuration:

  • API Keys
  • Theme settings
  • Other preferences
