joshuawhite929 Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 (edited) Hello, I turned on syncing by choosing a remote network folder so I can move my Alfred settings from one Mac to another. Trouble is, I can figure out how to turn this feature off. It looks like I can only choose another folder. Anyone else know how I can turn this off? I found this on twitter from 2013: Thanks, Josh Edited October 28, 2017 by joshuawhite929 Link to comment
Andrew Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Hey Josh, There are a few different ways this can be done, but the easiest is to: 1. Quit Alfred 2. Copy the up to date Alfred.alfredpreferences into ~/Library/Application Support/Alfred 3/ 3. Open Terminal and paste: defaults delete com.runningwithcrayons.Alfred-Preferences-3 syncfolder 4. Start Alfred Check that syncing isn't setup in Alfred's Advanced preferences, and you're good to go For anybody else who sees this: If you'd just like to migrate settings to a different Mac, just copy across the Alfred.alfredpreferences before installing on the new Mac, then you don't need to change the sync folder. Cheers, Andrew Link to comment
Weaselboy Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 defaults delete com.runningwithcrayons.Alfred-Preferences syncfolder For anybody on Alfred 4, you need to tweak the command suggested by Andrew to turn off sync. The command above worked for me. Link to comment
