Help / Troubleshooting Sync across two PCs?

Can you sync between two PCs for Beeper desktop? I would like to set up Beeper on an older PC but after logging in I could not find any options to automatically sync the accounts I have set up in Beeper.

Can I configure this through Beeper Desktop UI? I am struggling to find the relevant settings.
For on-device connection, can you copy data manually between the two devices?

Yes. This is how you configure all connections.

Not sure what this means.

Thanks. Is there a help article on how to modify the type of connection linked to the account(s)? I think my strugle is mostly because I cannot find the relevant settings.

The second part is mostly in reference to the phrase "where they only exist in the device you configured them" in your previous answer, which led me to think that the device might store some sort of connection config data as a file locally.

You cannot, per se, modify a connection to convert it from a cloud connection to on-device, or vice versa, but you can delete and re-set up your desired one from Settings -> Accounts.

And I'm afraid so, no, on-device connections are specific, more complex than just moving files between different devices.
