Setting up eWallet's cloud sync on macOS

Last Updated:

eWallet® for macOS includes a synchronization engine called SyncPro® that allows syncing between a master cloud wallet and a local wallet. Need help setting up sync for the first time? You’ve come to the right place!

This article includes written steps in addition to two short videos: one covers starting with a cloud wallet, while the other covers starting with a local wallet. Note that this information is also included in eWallet’s built-in help documentation, which you can get to from the Help Center in the Help menu.

You’ll need eWallet for macOS, version 8.5.4 or newer to use eWallet’s SyncPro® cloud sync with the latest version of Dropbox services. You’ll need version 8.10 or newer to use Google Drive services, and version 8.11 or newer to use Microsoft OneDrive services.
