How to turn off syncing?

[joshuawhite929]

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

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

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.
